And here I was looking oh so forward to a fair deal of excruciating pain ala root canal. Get to the Doc's (despite stealing a few more minutes of REM-cycles) have a seat in the chair, and here come the delicious numbing agents! So there I am good and numbed up, half my lower jaw belongs to another existence at this point, I can hear the drill, the pressure as he digs. Then I hear him ask the nurse to mix the calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) to fill the tooth as a temporary filling. I was thinking "No shit. That's it? I didn't feel a damn thing!" And indeed that was it. He told me that he ran into some "blockage" and was going to refer me to another dentist who could help me out. Yes, I said it too: WTF?! He said that he was not going to charge for the 40 minutes of quasi-exploratory work he did. W00tz0r! Free sore jaw! Cherry on the split: slept through alarm clock, and so did my fiance, saving my boss $5.93. PWN!
