Lounge vibes? Root canal at 8AM tomorrow...

I've had a few before, but wish me luck, a double application of novocaine and lots of Vicodin. :-|





If you don't hear from me by noon, my beagle sig pic goes to ....

molar -- I wish you more luck that I seem to be having, but the good news is the endodontist is still willing to try to save this $%^&* tooth. Remember, you should not hurt at all with any of the wonderful ...caine drugs nowadays. Tell him/her that you'd like to arrange a signal with him to stop and give you more anesthesia if you are feeling ANYTHING.

I won't bore you with the details. I have a dental consult tomorrow at 11:30 AM PT, so I'm sending you vibes but savin' a few for myself.

Cordially,

Radio Lady Ellen in Oregon

PS. We're lucky we don't have to have our teeth treated with a glass of whiskey and the old key forceps or pelican forceps. Endodontics has improved greatly even in the last three decades since I had my first one.

Shit. Vibes. Pretty nonsense. Definite love. Hugs. Candy. Movies. Honey & toast.. Good things. Beagles. Bagles. Kisses. Wishes. Smiles. No-pain-thoughts. Scalp massages. Good dreams. Distractions.

:loveya: & all my love, Richardo.

...a LOT.

Thanks! :pals: :loveya:






"scalp massage" :bounce:

That's why we have root canals in the first place!

:rofl:

Good luck, R! Will be thinking of you! :hug:

...so I really should know better. :blush:


Thanks, fsc... :hug:

:P Maybe then I'd double up on the scalp massages!!:D

Score! :bounce:

(he didn't know that's what would happen when he went)

:hi:


I think you will be ok. I've had a few too many of em myself!

I've had since Thursday to gear up for this one. I'll insist on the two shots and everything will be Jake.

Best to your husband - hope he feels better soon, and thanks, tigereye :pals:

Hope your dentist has a gentle touch. :-)

...but he does have a deft touch.

Anyway, I'm usually so relaxed I've even fallen asleep during a root canal before.

:hug:

:hug:

And good vibes for you, Richardo. :-)

I know you'll do just fine. :pals:

Once the needle part is over I'm usually so relaxed I've been known to fall asleep in the middle of the procedure. :shrug:

I just wish they'd find another way to deliver the anesthetic. :(

Anyway, thanks, Aristus!

:hug:
Mind your doctor...
:hug:

:hug:

...hope it all goes well...:thumbsup:

I'm really an old hand at this, but I always have a bit of trepidation going into it.

I'm anxious to see you post while you are on the pain meds! :hi:

e.g. --> http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7393445&mesg_id=7393445 :D

Thanks for the thoughts! :hi:

See you soon. :hi:

Love ya Richie, have fun with it! Vikes - wheeeeee!!! :loveya: :pals:

Yes, you can have the beagle pic if I croak. Just feed her every day and keep her next to the Will Rogers quote, and walk her in the Pennsylvania and Texas forums (avoid GD-P because the noise upsets her and she'll pee on the carpet as soon as you get home) and let her have WWE matches with the cat and...

...oh wait, I'll be dead. Do whatever you want. :D :pals: :loveya:

:hi:

last time I had one I worked a 12 hour shift three hours later

Crap.


:hi:

:hug: to you, Richardo!

...woke myself up snoring. Twice. :blush:

Ugh...root canal. Just the words sends shivers down my spine. :scared:

I hope all was uneventful and ok. :-)

You're a :pals:

:hi:

Thanks, CMW! :pals:

Hopefully, you won't feel much of it both before AND after.

...I'm back and so loaded up with anesthetic I look like I have Bell's Palsy. No pain here! :hi:

The woot canal went thwimmingly and I'm tho loaded up with anethethia that I look like I have Bell'th Palthy.

Dentitht tip: Don't wathte your money on Tharbucks after the pwothdure - you can't tathte a damn thing, ow elthe the coffee dwibbles down the fwont of your thirt. :eyes:


:hi: to all!

Hope you are out of anesthesia and doing well by this time.

Please replace the beagle as soon as possible!

Unless you did it on another thread...

Too busy to keep up with everything!

:hi:

I was in and out of the chair in less than 45 minutes. Cost: about $900.

I'm in the wrong line of work...:(

Good luck! :hi:

Even got a nap in :thumbsup:

I hope you don't suffer too much post-op pain. :hug:

"Sackrace" :rofl:

Yes, I looked at "Properties"

I must say that is one of the funniest pics I've ever seen.

Sounds like a successful day all around! :pals: :hug: :loveya:

:hug:

Got another Vike 750 down the hatch and its time for (early) bed. :boring:

Sorry you have to go through this... I hope it goes well and you feel better real soon!

Make sure they give you the GOOD drugs.

Hope the root canal went well. I HATE those damn things! x(

General dentist, endodontist #1 twice in one month, periodontist #1, endodontist #2, back to periodontist #1, back to endodontist #1 -- scheduled again in February.

Trying to save one molar with a "pimple" of inflammation at the end of one of the roots. (Hey, I'm lucky the pimple isn't on the end of my nose, or my butt!)

Do you remember this ditty?

She's got freckles on her BUT (pause) --
She is nice, she is nice.

I have no idea why I remember these inane things.

Cordially,

Radio Lady Ellen

Thanks :hug:

I'm glad you didn't have to give it away on account of a root canal gone awry. :hug: Here's wishing you a speedy recovery! :pals:

20 tabs of Vicodin 750 should keep me pain free for the duration...thanks for the thoughts! :hug:

As a caffeine addict, I'd better throw that in there :)
