I Smell Smoke!

There's an old Bill Cosby comedy routine where he talks about going to the dentist. "I smell smoke!" at one point he tells his doctor. I always thought that was just humor. Until today.

I had a root canal today. I had a crown and the tooth underneath had abscessed, and yes I probably should have had it taken care of a while ago but you know the classic "I was busy..." excuse comes into play.

Anyway, at one point he's drilling trying to get the old crown off, and I swear I smelled smoke two or three times! It was quite a bizarre experience. To add to the strangeness, my dentist told me to take ibuprofen every four hours for the next couple of days. Since we didn't have any I stopped in at the grocery store, grabbed a bottle of the generic stuff. I was getting hungry so I popped into the sandwich shop next door to grab a sub. Walking in who is there but my torturer, oops I mean dentist!

And yes, it does hurt. (In all fairness to my dentist he was very good, I had no pain during the procedure. I had let it get inflamed and now it's throbbing. Again.) I had quite a headache and came home early, laid down and slept for quite a few hours. My darling wife fed me some dinner, I just did a little work and now, well I think I'm going back to bed as the throbbing returns.

And yes, it still hurts.

Keeping Harmony In The Family

I'm gonna buy a crate of these things and pass them out just before Thanksgiving Dinner.
