the good news and the bad news
i went to the dentist last night – i’ve had a toothache for a few weeks, but was terrified to go because the last time i went, i had a filling done which apparently went quite deep. in fact, the dentist said that she couldn’t drill any deeper without hitting nerves, so if the decay came back, i’d need a root canal. i was afraid that this was, in fact, what was causing my toothache.
the good news? i don’t need a root canal, that tooth is fine.
the bad news is that I now have a cavity in the tooth right next to it.
i cursed the paper thin tooth enamel that i inherited from my mother… and celebrated the “no root canal” news by polishing off the box of candy my sister sent.

Nicely done! This is the exact reason that I do not go to the dentist…
