TOOTHACHE

I wasn't joking about the root canal. Many years ago I had a cavity filled. Then, between 2003 and 2007 I was without health insurance altogether. During that time, my filling became loose and foodstuff was storming the castle of my poor enamel. I am scheduled to get it fixed this Wednesday. I expect only terrible, horrible things.

But it can't be any worse than the throbbing toothache I woke up to at 1:30 AM. It felt like my brain was rotting right out of my head. Oh, pity me!
