Nerves are Shot...or...Root of Evil

Well how sweet of you to ask. Thank you for your concern! Yes, I recently underwent a root canal, a procedure only slightly more pleasant than a DRE*. In case you were wondering a root canal** involves the following:
- The nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed

All that remains now is my coronation ceremony in 2 weeks during which a crown will be placed upon the pulpless, nerveless head of my tooth.

The only thing that could possibly make this experience more of a treat, is that it happened on my post-call day. Yay for Saturday!! Your Humble Observer is in a special place right now.

- Canal Saint Martin - Paris, France
