Those with dentist phobias should not read this post!

Those of you with real problems shouldn't read this either since there is way too much whining involved. What can I say, a little self pity goes a long way.

I need to post about Liam, Brock and Evie's birthdays. Instead I will post about poor pitiful me. I will try to make sense through the pain killer haze in my brain.

So yesterday I went in to the dentist for a root canal. It was my second and the first wasn't bad at all so I was trying not to worry. Everything went fine throughout the appointment till near the end. The dentist was putting something into the tooth that smelled strongly of chlorine bleach and then suddenly there was a burning sensation that started in the tooth but then radiated to the rest of my face. It started to burn in my nose and down my throat. I made some grunting sounds to show I was in pain (I try to be brave at the dentist but this went beyond that) and he started to work faster and start sucking stuff out while asking if it burned in my nose and throat. Long story short they put this heavy duty disinfectant in the root of the tooth (I told him it smelled and felt like bleach and he said it is very similar. I don't remember this from my first root canal) and apparently my root went into my sinuses so when they put the stuff in it went into my sinuses as well. The dentist was as close to freaking out as I have seen a dentist and kept saying "this is not good, this is not good". So apparently my sinuses are kind of fried. He put a shot of steroids into my face to help the inflamation, gave me prescriptions for more steroids, antibiotics and painkillers and pretty much told me to stay on the painkillers because I would need them and made an appointment to finish up on Tuesday (he couldn't finish the root canal because of blood coming from my sinuses out my tooth). So why do these things happen to me? I am trying to count my blessings because my family is really pretty darn healthy but come on, I feel like someone shot acid into my face. I'm not sure if there will be any lasting damage and I will admit it feels better today than yesterday though now my tooth hurts a lot as if there is lots of pressure inside. So poor poor me, how tragic how sad. Everyone get out your little violins and play a sad sad song for me.
