Update

So if you read my last post, you know what happened last night.
Went to the dentist this morning and there was really not much he could do at that point in time. Needless to say, that was NOT was I was wanting to hear. The earliest he could see me is Wednesday am.
He did however, put something on my tooth to cover it so that I can breathe without pain. It's still hard to drink, talk, or eat since the nerve is kinda exposed, but it's better than it was.
Here's the pathetic thing. All they did was get an x-ray of my tooth and put that stuff on it, and I was crying because I was so freaked. It was terrible. So, he kindly prescribed me some Valium to take before Wednesday's procedure so that he can do his job and I won't freak out. Again.
So come Wednesday, I will stumble into the office to get a root canal and new crown. As far as the root canal goes, he said that it will be as easy as they come since he only has to mess with one root and that it's the front tooth instead of somewhere in the back. So that's a blessing.

But it's still frustrating. I had to call in to work, change plans, miss training, and now I'm stuck at home because I can't go anywhere because I'm on meds.
However, I will NOT let this get me down and I will NOT sport a bad attitude.
I need and will keep my head up.
It helps reading about other people and what they're going through, i.e. Japan, news, friends and their lives. It keeps things in perspective even though the selfish part of me wants to lie down on the floor and scream, "WHY ME?!"
So now I can have time to catch up on stuff and sleep. So if you don't see me this week, you know why. Hopefully though, I'll be able to train again on Wednesday. If not, Thursday it is.
