It's like getting a root canal. That is what we say when something is uncomfortable. But there is no substitute like a real root canal. I had one yesterday.
Five shots in your mouth. The last two are really deep. Ouch.
Then the drilling begins. zzzzzzzz. zzzzzz. zzzzzzzz. zzzzzz. GGG. grind. gggggg. zzzzzz.
Then packing of the drilled out canal. Then patching of the tooth. My root canal was through a crown, so it was particularly enjoyable having them drill through the steel crown.
Then you're done. Here's the bill. Everything is fine. Chew on anything you like. Eat whatever you want. Take ibuprofen. You're gonna hurt when the Novocain wears off.
Ouch. sore mouth today.
But, thank God we live in a world of dentistry. In a country where dentists are available. A root canal. If that is the worst thing that happens to me this week, well, I guess we will be ok.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

Sort of like the fleas in Corrie Ten Boom's book "The Hiding Place", some of the oddest things are blessings in disguise when viewed through faithful eyes. There are times I forget to be thankful for things that are uncomfortable for a moment, but are better for me in the long run. I'm glad you were able to get into the dentist so quickly!
Ouch..grrrr...painful...not funny. But remember your recent admonition to your congregation: Root canals last for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
