Sick Day Countdown

How foolish was I to worry about losing unused sick days?

I'm home today with my sore cheek, my antibiotics and my Motrin. Root canal will be in January.

2009 is looking grrrrreat!

looks like it's as bad as what I had last year...if the Motrin doesn't help with the pain, try the two Tylenols with two Advils...it really works. I even asked the pharmacist about doing that with the antibiotics and she told me it was ok.

JAW fan

Root canal....let me tell you my root canal story!!!! Had root canal mid way through 2007 - expensive, but health insurance covered about half of it. However, it didn't work properly...so, off to someone called an endodontist - another root canal on the same tooth earlier this year, twice the cost, again, about half covered by insurance. I hope that yours goes better than that!

Well, susieq, I'm a bit glad to learn that someone has had the experience of a root canal that " didn't work". I thought I was alone. My first root canal ended with a crown that wouldn't hold, and as a result I had to have an implant put in. This time round, I'm wondering if I should ask the dentist to skip the root canal/shaky crown phase and go straight to the implant, thus saving us both a lot of hassle.

Good heavens! At least I didn't have to go through all that palaver! Hope it all works out! Mind you, I haven't had the crown put on yet - that can wait till after the overseas holiday.....
