Hi! Feeling good today, have taken ibuprofen as needed for some very dull and totally manageable discomfort in the gums near the root canal tooth. Eating soft foods, tongue keeps running over the temporary filling stuff in my root canal tooth, but no biggie. I can't BELIEVE I'm writing "no biggie" about a ROOT CANAL. This is a life milestone for me. I mean, I put this off for 30 years.
Now I have moved on to panicking about my dentist appointment next week, four hours long. My husband begged me to at least give myself the weekend off from life-consuming stress and anxiety over this. Today I had a big public speaking thing at work and he's like "How in God's name are you not scared of that, but PETRIFIED of the dentist?" My response has snippily been "That's what PHOBIAS are, they aren't rational!" He is taking the day off next week to come with me to the dentist.
Started meditating with the hope that it will help manage this!
Thank you very much for asking.
