2nd ASCT - Day 103 - August 29 2012

Paco seems fine this morning and I took him home at o'dark thirty (his choice).

I drove 100 miles to Endodontics office in Idaho Falls for my root canal on tooth #18. The novocaine worked well and the procedure took less than 40 minutes. The novacaine made me shaky and I could feel my heart in my chest.


Douglas Sutton DDS, Endodonist who grew up on a dairy farm...he likes teeth more than cows!

Bart noted there was active infection in the root canals of my tooth #18 - he even cleaned it out with clorox at one point.
I'll need to go back to Dr. Tom McGowan within 1 month to have a permanent filling put in the top of the crown that Bart Morrison had to drill through today...and yes, that's a root canal on the the tooth on the left too - today's root canal is the tooth on the right!
Drove home and my mouth was still very numb. HOWEVER, IT WOKE UP and I have so much PAIN - thankfully, I have both Advil and Percocet...putting ice on my jaw tonight. Hopefully, the pain will abate by morning. I talked to my transplant coordinator at the University of Colorado Hospital and Lindsey McMenimen asked the pharmacist there about my antibiotic coverage for this root canal - Augumentin 875/125 is adequate and I continue to take it twice a day.
