Drowned in the Root Canal

    I started to catch a cold that M had. Figures! I still went to the gym to work out, as I joined over a month ago. Then I went in to have the root canal started. Dr. A.G. numbed me up and gave me 3 shots. I was overheating and shaking. They took my blood pressure and it was low, but my pulse was 124. I just wanted to get this show on the road. He came back and tapped on the tooth, since I was still feeling it he numbed me more. After a few minutes he came back and started to drill through my crown. The pain was shooting into my ear and all around. He deiced to numb me 6 more times all around the tooth. Finally I was numb. Towards the end it he put the file down into my tooth and I almost jumped out of the chair. The pain was horrible. I was crying and just started apologizing. What a pain in the ass I was being. He just kept telling me that the pain was from my neuralgia. I realized that, but couldn't seem to get it under control. After he decided to stop of the day they gave me Advil and I also took 3 oxycodone. I wanted to just leave and get home. So I'll go back in two weeks to finish the fun.
     On Monday afternoon I called Dr. G-R from Cedar Sinai. They connected me right to him. While I was there he mentioned that this guy who trained under him for a year was practicing in Las Vegas. If he did the Blocks then I wouldn't have to go to LA each week. He said he'd try to get ahold of his friend again and call me back. He returned my call yesterday morning. Unfortunately the guy in Vegas does not do this procedure, so we will have to travel back and forth. It is what it is but I'll have to first get this tooth taken care of and then go forward.
