2:02 PM: today was crown day. i drove the hour to salida. the landscape at 7am was brilliant, and the temperature in the valley was just below freezing.
i had a 2 hour session, where she worked on a root canal tooth with a gold crown, which she removed, cleaned the decay deep beneath the tooth & installed a temporary crown while the permanent one is being made in the lab. the only pain was gum pain, since the tooth had no nerves, and she numbed my gums, so virtually no pain.
i was not in a state to go spend time in my studio, so i took a break. 4 more sessions left, including a cracked root canal molar extraction, which i’m not looking forward to.
