0630 crack eyelids after chasing the dragon for 7 hours. Memories of opium induced dreams bubbling to the forefront. Wince at recollection of snarling spitting spinning device used to chase the pulsing root core and having it ripped from my mouth. Remembering the good doctor’s comment of “the tooth is dead now.” ....and realize....the pain is gone!

Our daughter had a root canal done when she was 11 and somehow, I don’t remember her whining this much...must be a man thing:). Be thankful your species are not responsible for childbirth. And ,if memory serves me correctly, I don’t recall having the luxury of codeine to ease the pain. But then, we know who the stronger sex is anyway, don’t we? Happy Valentine’s Day.
