The Shadows on My Wall Don't Sleep

Opted to have an infected molar extracted rather than pour money and painful time into killing the infection and having a root canal and crown. As the dentist put it, missing one tooth won't bother me and putting the money into restoring the other teeth would be money better spent.

I just wish anesthetic and painkillers didn't metabolize so fast with me. I wasn't even out of the office before the gaping hole where the tooth used to be started itching and aching.
