Root Canal. Bleh.

Today I got my first root canal! This was my first "serious" anything towards my mouth except for fillings, so let's just say I was a bit scared. I was so grateful that my mom came with me to support me. She wasn't in the room with me but it was still nice to have her there.

The assistant came in and gave me another x-ray and it wasnt so bad. Then the dentist came in and talked to me, then numbed me. It was alright, they gave me a shot to help with the pain afterwards and I had the choice to have laughing gas too, but I decided against that because I wanted to be big and not be scared. But the shot was nice because I was REALLY numb afterwards, and the pain isn't so bad, but the Tylenol is working too. They put a rubber thing over my mouth that he called a "raincoat". hahah! So they started drilling on the tooth, Jennie told me to keep my eyes closed the whole time; so thats what I did. I think the time went by pretty fast when I had my eyes closed. They took the "raincoat" off and I said, "That's it!?" By that comment, I think it went alright. The numbing wore off when we went shopping, so the ride home was kinda difficult, I slept from Nephi home. When we got home, I went directly into bed and slept for 45 minutes. It felt good.

Jennie and the kids came up and we had Hot Sweedish Sandwiches. Ryan and Tiff and the boys came too. My mouth is still in a little pain but Tylenol really helps and I think rest will too. It has been taken some getting used to, to chewing on the other side of my mouth, but I can do it for like 3 days! I dont work till Friday night so I think tomorrow will just be a full day of relaxing and naps! I cant wait. :)
