so a quick update. I had the root canal, and it was alright. the first few days, nothing abnormal. however on the fourth day, it felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat. It was seriously inflammed. The pain in my foot was worse too. About a week later, I started having leg cramps, that lasted for a couple of days. As of now, it still hurts, but it is getting better. I have to have a tooth extracted on Friday. It is a wisdom tooth that should have been removed 16 years ago, but the one i did have removed didn't go so well (the oral surgeon had to break my jaw to get it out). But it is in sideways, infected and the roots have spiraled around my jaw.

I am hoping all goes well. At least the root canal wasn't too bad.
