third times a charm.

i've recently rekindled my relationship with the dentist. after a (more than brief) stint of living below the poverty line and not having access to dental benefits, i'm back in the chair. often, multiple times a month. tomorrow is root canal number three. for the past few weeks, it had become the norm to take about 12 advil a day to keep the minor toothache at bay. this all changed when i was helping my mom move last week in michigan and i experienced pain i had never experienced before. an awful plane ride, an emergency trip to the pharmacy for vicoden and antibiotics and two days later for the antibiotics to kick in and the pain had subsided enough to allow me to return to work. woo hoo! and if i keep the vicoden in my pocket, zac will totally chase me around the living room for it. hehe. now if only the heartbeating-in-my-gums sensation would piss off.
