Root Canal – Creative Commons<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday after four days of tooth pain before I could get in to see my dentist I had a root canal performed on an upper molar.<\/p>\n It has truly kicked my butt.<\/p>\n In my 7+ decades I’ve had at least a half dozen root canals and none of them were any fun but both the process and the recovery from this one have been in a league of their own with swelling and pretty incredible tooth, jaw and facial pain. My dentist warned me of that possibility, saying that this particular tooth is the most challenging and difficult one out of all of them for root canals, in part because it has four complicated roots that need to be ‘roto-rooted’. It took nearly 2 1\/2 hours in the dentist’s chair to get it done.<\/p>\n Normally I prepare the images for my posts and compose at least part of the first draft of my text the evening before I publish. But last night I simply could not concentrate through the pain so I abandoned any hopes of a ‘normal’ post and decided to explain why in today’s edition of Feathered Photography.<\/p>\n I’m not<\/em> looking for sympathy! Root canals are an almost routine fact of life but I thought an explanation was required rather than not posting at all. After a rough night I’m finally beginning to feel better this morning.so I’m optimistic that the worst is behind me.<\/p>\n Back to regular programming tomorrow.<\/p>\n Ron<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" And good excuse or bad excuse I’m gonna use it.<\/p>\n
