And so was I!  Man this guy is good.  Last thing I remember is the dr
telling me he was giving me a "morning cocktail".  Then I was talking to the
nurse about how long it was going to take and she told me they had been done
for 10 minutes! I don't remember a thing but apparently I was talking up a
storm until they finally said they couldn't work on me if I was talking. Too
funny.  All went well. It stopped bleeding around 4pm and I was able to eat
mac and cheese for dinner on the other side of course.  Pain minimal.  The
dr said it was "really nasty in there" but the bone was strong and not
infected like the other tooth. But the infection was worse. I've been
fighting with these two teeth for three years. I always felt like the
infection originated from this tooth in the first place but of the four
doctors involved, (2 endodontists, 1 oral surgeon and one regular dentist
there were different opinions. The oral surgeon was the only one who ever
gave thought that they both were impaired. After he pulled the first one he
even said something about "if the back tooth makes it."  In the end, both
teeth had multiple root canals and both had to be extracted. They were the
last two teeth on the bottom right.  So it's done. Didn't need a bone graft
this time so no stitches. Hoping it will heal as well as the other one does
and that my general health improves.  Didn't give me as much steroid this
time. 8mg of decadron which is about 42 of medrol. Hey - I'll take it.
Joints feel good. Gave me IV antibiotics as well as feel good drugs. I still
feel a bit wozzy from them.  So I'm laying low and watching tv while I drift
off to sleep.
Have to stay off Enbrel for todays and the next shot so it's a good thing I
got the steroid boost.

Hope everyone else is having an ok day!
