[Cherish]

She's being so unfriendly to us...
The backstory might come into play? she had a daughter the same age as my son and we did meet up with them at the park one time to play with them. Her little girl had a rare brain tumor sort of thing and died over a year ago. We only barely knew them (our pediatric dentist shares the office across the hall, and she came out to play with my son while we were waiting one day. I'm wondering if her loss is somehow cropping up into this. I only knew the little girl had passed because someone at the pedi dentist told us. That's the only other interaction I've ever had with her, though... and it was all positive. I am sure she's very sad about that loss, it's soul-crushing. I'm trying to assign positive intent to her esp. for that reason, but she's really being kind of rude and hateful about it. We can't figure out why it took so long to do the first part of the root canal and why she did not finish it. My ds had one done on the same tooth and it took a fraction of the time.
Oh well. hopefully i can get in and out and recover fast. I have a speaking engagement friday night and right now i cannot open my mouth without howling in pain.

so vicodin is every 6 hours. (taking benedryl with that, it helps me not get sick). Advil is every 4-6. Valium is unnecessary imo, so I am not taking that. She wants me to take it before I come in for the next appt. I keep trying to tell her that I'm a peaceful, non-anxious person. I'm not anxious at all and I don't want two drugs that make me sleepy (3 if you count the benedryl). Making myself a chart and setting alarms (thanks Allison for that idea. That will help esp. if I fall asleep!)
So appreciate you ladies. Honestly I am not a pain wimp, I've given birth sans meds more than once. I'd RATHER give birth than put up with this amount of pain, though!
