Oh boy.

In case my drawing isn't clear enough:

My still/already painful molar was further tormented today by the taking off of the temp crown, and the installation of the permanent one.

Did I mention there was hot cement?

It should be better in three days. THREE DAYS. 

I might just take enough pain pills to let me sleep until then. Hell's bells.




(I know that in the grand scheme of things this is nothing. Nepal, Chili - closer to home in Baltimore. Perspective is everything. Sometimes, though, I find life more bearable when I make my world really small. As the Beloved said this weekend: "When your siblings moved away from home, they left their feelings behind and you got them all." )
