the root of all evil

so last week i started to feel this ache in my tooth, well, not really in my tooth - more like in my jaw underneath my tooth. i'm thinking... oh it'll go away, no worries. but it doesn't. so i go to the dentist monday afternoon - an "emergency" appointment apparently these are called. anyway, i had a baaaad feeling about it all, and as i was laying back in the chair i swear i could see little dollar signs lighting up in the dentist's eyes...

yes, i have to have root canal work.

ROOT CANAL!

just the sound of it makes me shiver.

i won't go into detail about as its pretty boring, but suffice to say that's its way painful, way expensive and just generally *sucks* big-time. the dentist even gave me a brochure to read about it - called "So, you have to have root canal work".

what a lovely way to spend my last few weeks in adelaide...
