Damn, I was thinking I didn't have to go back in till later this week... Well, another tooth down, several more to go. We did the molar next to the one I just got a new root canal on last week, so I got yet another temp crown for the left side. My poor jaw had not recovered from last week yet, I stopped by the grocery store on the way home today to get more soft food I shouldn't be having on my diet. At least the ice cream is sugar free ;-)

The tooth today was a pretty recent white composite crown that had been done about three years ago (by another dentist...) to cover a root canal and keep my tooth full of old silver fillings from crumbling. Unfortunately the last dentist left the silver in the tooth, and did a weird job of the crown (it was apparently pressing on the surrounding gum, no wonder it hurt so much), and the area where the silver was had started to decay making the bottom of the tooth turn grey.

I had told the dentist before we started that the local injections he gave me last week had made my hand swell up, but he dismissed that, and gave me several more of the same today. So after I came home and took a nap, I awoke with both hands full of hives and bumps and swelling quickly (sigh). They hurt worse than the tooth, dammit, and last week they took about three days to go back down... I'm glad it's only Monday, we're going to a friend's wedding this weekend.

What does one wear to a casual indoor/outdoor wedding in June here in the swamplands? The invite said "no shorts please", but I don't think I even own a skirt and I'm unsure whether even nice jeans would be appropriate. I don't want to get too formal, it's bloody hot outside, most of my "nice" things are not for June...

Because of my lack of eating full meals last week I actually lost some weight, despite the fact that I was literally force-feeding myself to keep from getting too run down (or nauseous from the medicine). I did get a few weird bursts of energy, though, dusted the bedroom one night, filed some stuff... so the week wasn't a total bust.
