Well, I felt pressured but did it anyway. I did talk with my endodontist, who last night I was ready to report to the state dental board, but today he seemed nicer and explained that my tooth really wasn't saveable. I got my molar extracted. I wanted very badly to do it with just the local anesthetic, but after he numbed me up, I was shaking so badly (this is AFTER the whatever "sedation" pill they give you) that I went ahead with the general sedation. probably not a bad decision. I feel like s&%! now. But I don't think that I feel so badly because of the sedation. Just because of the awful things they did to my mouth, and would have done no matter what kind of means was used to make it "tolerable".
Last night I slept horribly. Horrible dreams. Then I woke up completely at 2am and waited in bed eyes wide open until 3pm. I took one of my husband's Ativan (left over from his lasik surgery last week) and that really helped me sleep. Too bad it was illegal to take it. He was just gonna throw it out... I'll probably take another tonight. Anyone know if they interact with vicodin badly?
So I feel completely crappy and completely depressed. Thought y'all should know that I survived - to this point, anyway.
When do I get to mourn for my lost tooth? Taken away from me so suddenly, never did anyting wrong or caused me any pain... until the BAd Bad doctors started in with their hungry checkbooks.

Congratulations on getting through the dentist experience, my hat is off to you.
