Prayer for a Root Canal
Merciful butcher, I beg you:
Tug out this toxic worm
Extract this hot red thread.
Some fanatic has slammed
A pick axe into my jaw.
Bless me with benzocaine, lidocaine
And the spirit of nitrous oxide
Under which every blood, bone,
and brain cell will buzz.
My heart is in my tooth.
I promise to moan
I swear I will squirm
I vow to speak in tongues, amen.

You can't fool me - you just want the laughing gas.
Hahaha it's true.
I think Carrie is just searching for something to believe in.
Morphine owns me.
i HATE root canals! i've gotten two at the same time! it wasn't fun! and i might have to get another two! ouch!
Maybe this means god was in your tooth. You just extracted a diety! AAAAAAAAAAA
So, Carrie, what did you learn from your suffering? To be grateful? To brush and floss in a timely manner?
i freakin' brush all the time and my teeth still rot out. i give up.
So glad you are feeling better...I've never seen anyone want a root canal so bad. Crazy girl!
