Re: OT root canals

your right, Anne.
it is a long drive from Oregon up to Washington after dental
work.

are they are planning or how possible is it she might end up
with a general anesthetic?
what is her usual pain thresh-hold?
is it advisable for her to drive after having a local
anesthetic and any pain meds she might need?

if the answer is yes to any one of these,
it might be a good idea she has someone go with her for the
drive home.
call out the troops for the kids, then you can be her
chauffer.
fingers crossed all goes well for her.

fingers crossed, I know it flared up badly at Christmas
and she sounded pretty rough when I spoke with her on the
phone then, I suspect she knows what she can tolerate and
has done her research - though you never really know for
sure, last year a friend had to go for a uterine biopsy
and a couple of us said to her to take her husband along,
which she hadn't planned to do, but after she had it she
said she was glad she did as the cramping had been enough
to make driving inadviseable and at least with something
like that it was a local doctors office and you could
call, it's the distance that worries me more, if there is
a problem it's an awful long way.

Cheers

When I had one I was prepared for the worst. It wasn't
bad at all. Yes there is some pain, but nothing like the
pain before the root canal. <G> I drove myself to and
from the procedure, which was quite a ways.
