Surviving

 I just had a root canal AND a tooth extraction. I have to say I am damn proud of myself of going through it. Went to the dentist by myself, remembered my keys, remembered to take my umbrella from the auto despite the funky effect of the anaesthesia...I feel like it's the making of a superhero. And now will sit down to work after a while.

U haven't seen my face swollen like this in a long while...or the slurriness of speech. But it's okay. 

As I was leaving the dentist, I saw my extracted tooth. I said a goodbye to it mentally. Broken or decayed or whatever...we were together for a while. It's sad it had to end like this kind of pulling and force. But the goodbye can be gentle.

And it was. 

Now I hope I survive when the anaesthesia wears off.
