A Sloth Gets A Root Canal

At the beginning of May, I took a bite of chocolate frosting and my tooth just crumbled like a rock slide on a mountainside
Long story...eh...not that short, it took forever for me to have a time I could get to the dentist when all of the appropriate people would be there.  That happened yesterday.
Crystal's First Root Canal (I'm leaving the pictures as links because...well, I am).
I was terrified.  But Twitter kept me company.  A sampling of my day is below: #rootcanaltweets


.Oh, I don't want to do this http://instagr.am/p/LvtTBLyFmn/

That's not glitter, that's fear in my eyeshttp://instagr.am/p/Lvth0wSFmy/

Lisa then said, "Run" but...

@TX_Lisa I would, but I already paid lol


Omg this dentist is loud, happy, & obnoxious. I may stab him


Overheard: we don't want no prick.


God I hope I can tweet while they work


Wtf is all that?     http://instagr.am/p/Lvu1uTyFne/


They keep bringing in more stuff  http://instagr.am/p/Lvu6jCSFnh/

Well, I think I broke the tv 
 oh, ha! I'd just turned it off


But I get a fancy paper bib #rootcanaltweets http://instagr.am/p/LvvwERSFn6/

Assistant: are you nervous? Me: yes. Her: why? Me: stab


They should call this a glitter unicorn procedure because that doesn't sound as scary #rootcanaltweets

Oh god, he told her to make sure the turbo motor was in here!!!!!!!


I hope they know this is going to be live tweeted


They do now. They're laughing about it & saying they should be on good behavior. #yesplease

I told them i was Tweeting their every move. I think it scared them. ;-)

http://twitpic.com/9vf0zt look! Friends!


I have a stick in my mouth. My face is going numb. 

Assistant does not have a twitter. We can't be friends.


http://twitpic.com/9vf2nc I wore running shoes on case I have to make a quick getaway #rootcanaltweets

He buttered me up by telling me he liked my glitter eyeliner before he shoved a needle into my gums 

http://twitpic.com/9vf4lz but I get to hold Mr. Thirsty


Dentist is singing ebony &; ivory in the next room. Save some nitrous for me, guy. 

My face has slid off my skull & is now in a puddle on the floor.

They'd better get this done before friends is over


I'm thinking about Root canal http://goo.gl/pp6Xg @GetGlue#RootCanal

Hiding in the barhroom http://twitpic.com/9vf7m1 no, really


mah wip feews funneh


Seriously, the singing has stopped & he's nowhere to be found. I fear I'm about to be murdered. #rootcanaltweets

Great...asst goes by & says "I feel like I'm on crack"


I smell burning. Is that normal? #rootcanaltweets

I was told by a Twitter-peep that is is.  It was just the BONE BURNING!!!! Nobigdeal.

But they are hooking me up with pain meds for later. That scares me a bit. #rootcanaltweets

@gcbkids oh good. I have zero pain tolerance though ;( asked for epidurals in my 6th month of pregnancy


@larwe @MelissaSChapman @agaile @ninecrayons I think fondue would be en excellent post root canal dinner


Feels like a really painful sinus infection now that the stuff is wearing off


I did end up taking one of the pain pills when I got home and another at bedtime.  I'm fine today though. Well, as long as I don't bite on that tooth - but it's not really a biting tooth, so I'm pretty ok.
Tomorrow-ish, look for an uplifting-type post where I tell the bricks to SUCK IT. ;-)
