chocolate box

Well, I have a story for my chocolate box assignment. It's decidedely unsatisfactory.

But I guess it'll do. *grumbles a little*

I have ideas and words, but it's been kind of hard to concentrate lately.

beatrice_otter asked: Any ways your faith has affected or been affected by your fannish experiences? (Only if you're comfortable talking about stuff like that in public.)

So I saw the endodontist today; he cleared the roots of the tooth out, and widened them - next time I go, it'll be to get them filled up.

That's in about 6 weeks. Lots of healing in the meantime.

At any rate, now it's just the waiting and the drugging. I have antibiotics and painkillers - the kind that make you groggy and have labels like "do not operate heavy machinery or drive cars".

I'm supposed to have a nerve conduction test tomorrow night; I should probably call the neurologist and check that it's okay, given that I had 2nd stage root canal surgery today.

Curious question: how many stages are root canals in the US? I have a friend from the US who said they did the drilling and filling all in one go! Here, they spread it out over 3-4 visits - and the price she quoted (in USD) is twice that of the price I was quoted (in AUD).
