twist of fait accomplis

Ugh.

So I had my cavity filled today... that'll teach me to avoid the dentist for years at a time. I won't bore you with the details of my dental health, but he said the two words I really hoped not to hear: root canal. Fortunately, I don't have to have one done, but if this particular cavity doesn't heal properly, he said it is a possibility.

It's amazing how much goes into filling a cavity in something as small as a tooth. It's also amazing that I didn't feel any pain earlier considering that it had gotten down almost into the nerve. I've learned my lesson.
