Miscalculations and a Root Canal

Thankfully, the miscalculations and root canal are not related. That sounds painful.

Last Friday, I broke a tooth eating some popcorn. I don't know if any of you have done that before, but one minute I was chewing popcorn and the next minute there were white bits in my mouth that were definitely not my yummy, puffy snack. It didn't hurt, but it felt like a huge chunk had chipped out, so I called my dentist. It was his day off but I left a message and he called me back within the hour. I was apparently okay for the weekend, but he wanted me to come in on Monday (today).

It turns out, the chip was too close to the nerve for them to attempt a filling, so they numbed me up and did a root canal right there. My boss was kind enough to let me come home and let the numbing wear off so I don't slur when I answer phones, but the whole side of my face is sore and I don't really want to go back and have to talk to people when I can barely open my mouth.

In other news, it looks like I was a little off on my progress chart for my pregnancy. When I first saw the doctor, I thought I was only 7 weeks along. Now, calculating backwards from the due date they gave me (May 5th) it looks like I was about 9 weeks. Now, I'm 12 -almost 13 weeks pregnant. That's 2 weeks further than I originally thought, which hopefully gets me that much closer to no more nausea and maybe an easier time sleeping. I can only hope.
