Radio Lady Update: I survived the root canal treatment and hopefully saved the tooth.

Aspirin is controlling the discomfort pretty well, although I am having twinges all along the main nerve. The endodontist said he thinks it's referred pain and there might be some small amount of necrotic tissue. I'm hoping everything resolves in the next few days before our European extravaganza (Paris, Brussels, London, and Edinborough, here we come...)

Yesterday at our pizza party, my six-year-old grandson showed me he'd lost one of his upper central baby teeth. He said the "Tooth Fairy" was quite generous.

I wish that damned fairy would pay my endodontist at least part of the $800 plus dollars. And I have to get a permanent filling, but at least there is still enough tooth structure, eliminating the need for a porcelain/gold crown.

Thanks so much to everyone for your good vibes, hugs, and wishes.

Over and out. RL
