Current mood:

scared

When I stop lurking, I really stop, huh?

I should be sleeping now. I have a dentist appointment at 930 for a root canal and I have to say I'm not exactly looking forward to it. I deal with fillings mostly ok though I hate parts of it, and the extractions I've had haven't been terrible, but I'm sure this is just the fear of the unknown. I just need to keep telling myself I've got my music and I'll be nummed up. I've also tried to convince myself that the stabbing pain that woke me at 530 am last Monday and that kept me awake last Thanksgiving night can't be as bad as what I'm facing tomorrow. Hopefully the biggest hurt will be to my bank account. That's my own fault for not having insurance but what can I do? (Other than a mental note to call the area chambers of commerce again to see if their health insurance includes dental.) 

Off to brush my teeth again and try to sleep. Yes I'm aware that's kinda like closing the barn door after the horse is down the road, but I'm hoping this prevents future pain.
