Ok, first the bad news, I’m getting a root canal and the first of four wisdom teeth removed in like two and a half weeks.

Oddly enough, that’s also the good news. Only half the wisdom teeth require surgery and the Doc assured me the painkillers would be both good and plentiful. On the root canal… the theory is that there was a weak spot in my last upper left molar because I have what can only be described as a “big motherfucking hole” in that tooth, I discovered it sort of suddenly (two weeks ago), the infection appears to be slow, and it doesn’t hurt (unless you jab something sharp in there like the assistant that was cleaning my teeth did, “Doesn’t this hurt?” “Ow.”). So, bacteria works it way in my tooth and basically one shotted it… sploits!

Anyway, the Doc said he didn’t forsee excruciating (yes, he did use that word) pain and such so I actually came out of there feeling a lot better then when I walked in, especially considering what the fuck is going to happen in my mouth for the next month.

Painkillers, fuck yeah.
