I had a root canal done today and they had some complications resulting in "excessive bleeding" which had to be cauterized, so I left with a mouthful of burnt flesh and a gaping hole in my mouth. They had to "remove a section of jawbone" as well, so the pain I am experiencing is a bit more than I had anticipated. Apparently it was more than they were anticipating as well, since all they offered me for the pain was some sort of generic Tylenol cocktail. Luckily my dear sister came through with a single leftover Vicodan from her surgery last summer, which I think is actually doing the trick. I still feel a lot of pain when I focus on my jaw, but in general I am feeling VERY relaxed. So much so that I am going to take the easy way out tonight and post this collage of 's on my mind lately. I did take all the photos and cook all the food represented, just not all this week.
Hey! Would you look at that? I managed a paragraph while trying to excuse myself for not following through with a paragraph. Nice.
Oh, and the photos of Miss Kitty's paintings are not taken by me. They are Danny Nicoletta's. They are the two paintings that Kitty gave to me, neither of which are in my posession at this time but I am holding out hope that they will return to me one day.
