Teeth... useless or useful?

At this point mine feel useless. A few weeks ago I had my bi-annual cleaning and the tech scrapped my gum on the back right (bottom). Within a week my tooth was killing me. After another trip to the dentist, x-rays and big words like Endo-Orthodontic Surgeon, we discovered the scrape infected my jaw on the right side and that one tooth was now in need of a root canal.

So 2 days ago I went in for a 1 hour procedure and left 3 hours later. Yes 3 hours. The first shot didnt take so when they started to work on the tooth...OUCH! So I waited for the 2nd shot to take effect and then waited for the dentist to finish.

The next day I couldnt open my mouth and I am sick of eating soup as its the only thing that I can get inside the small gap between my teeth. (My jaw is still stiff) Oh and I have to go back for the crown in a few weeks. UGH.

So other than the teeth... Work is going great! I love what I am doing and am excited to open the new Urgent Care in a month! I have trained with Internal Medicine, several Family Medicine Docs and Orthopedics. I have had great feed back from my supervisor and co-workers! However I am still a little hesitant about being to excited because of what happened in Texas with that one job.

Also Adam is doing great. Tired and busy. And I have discovered that Lily the cat loves to watch the movie Bolt. She literally sits in front of the TV and watches the whole movie. To funny! Ok off to bed!
