After
all the build up and worry, yesterday I had my root canal. I am about to say
something crazy but…it wasn't that bad! I think the fact that I thought it
would be way worse than it was, actually made it better. I did however pop in
my ear buds and listen to some quiet classical music to help keep me calm and oh
yeah, I had nitrous oxide which kept me from leaping out of the dental chair. Many
factors went into making what I feared less dramatic than I expected and a
happy side note, now that they have cleared out the infection in my root, I
feel much better than I have in days!
I
think sometimes expectation can make or break an event. Expecting a surprise
and not getting one can definitely break and event. I remember once believing
that Mark was going to surprise me, I think it was a birthday. I had it all
built up in my head, thinking everything he did was leading to a surprise and
when the time came and went and nothing happened my heart was broken, all that
time and energy that I spent getting excited about being surprised and then
nothing.
It
is nice to know that sometimes when you expect something and the opposite
happens, it is actually a good thing. Yesterday I thought for sure I was going
to be wiped out today, trying to recover. Boy was I wrong! I am a little tired,
but I am feeling much better than I have in a week or so. Feeling better
coupled with the fact that yesterday’s dental appointment went better than
expected plus hearing birds singing outside, makes for a great day and I intend
to enjoy it. I hope you enjoy today to!
