Dentist

I went to the dentist this morning because one of my teeth hurt when I bit down on it. My dentist told me that my tooth seemed like it was starting to die. Apparently I had a larger than normal nerve in my tooth which was very close to the surface of my tooth, that was nicked by a previous dentist when filling a previous cavity. It just takes years for the nerve to die, and apparently it wants to cause me pain before I go to Peru. My dentist said that if I wasn't going to Peru in a week that he wouldn't not suggest doing a root canal, but since I am he did a root canal. Pre-emptive strike, I like it.

Every I know has told me that a root canals are horrible, but I really didn't feel anything because 1) my tooth did not have a cavity in it, it was just dieing 2) My dentist shot me with Novocaine like 4 or 5 times AND gave me laughing gas which was a lot of fun. He finished the whole thing like in one hour. My jaw hurts more than tooth, but I still am taking some pain killers and anti-biotics. That was my morning. I just didn't want to have some Peruvian dentist pull my tooth out.

Before the Sunrise.....

No one is driving around in the streets at 3:30 a.m. in the morning unless:

1) You have my job
2) Are a truck driver
3) Have MAJOR, MAJOR problems.

I'm tired. =(

Update

Rocky with his new hairstyle at the dog park, I know he looks like a girl but he looks funny with short hair so we let it grow out.

In other news, we are leaving for Peru in three weeks. It seems really close but the both of us have a TON of work to do (for our jobs) before we leave. I can't wait to see my grandparents and hike in the mountains.

My older brother, Ricky, had heart surgery today. They reached his left side of his heart through his femoral artery in his upper left leg. During the surgery they found more complications in the right side of his heart and had to do a second surgery, which they reach through the main vein in his neck. My brother is a trooper. He was awake during the whole surgery which took six hours. I'm glad he is still alive.
