Root canal done! He did it all in one visit, originally two. The government plan paid a decent portion. Lying on those incredibly comfortable dentist chairs really helped my sore back. The first time he raised it to get an X-ray, I thought my body was going to split in half. I'm sure it's stress so now the pain should disappear.

My day so far: Second shingles shot, 7.37 KM walk in 4 sections, a pleasant ride on the subway and a hair trim on the last leg going home from said subway. Bonus? I didn't have to pay for the 2nd shingles shot. They said since I had the first one in December when it was covered, the second would be free. Phew! Glad I didn't have to pay for three days of shoulder ouch. Root canal tomorrow. Stay tuned...

My dentist couldn't see what was causing the pain in my tooth, other than a tiny space at the bottom of one root. So, tomorrow at 10 I get to see the root canal guy. He'll let me/us know if a root canal is even possible. If not, maybe an implant is the solution.

I cold make a career out of helping people at Kennedy Station. An old lady yesterday, stroke victim but bright and funny as hell. She need help with the curbs as she headed to the stairs down to the subway. This morning I directed a foreign student over to a diploma mill on Midland, led he part of the way. Now I'm on my way to the dentist to see what my destiny is. Root canal? Hope not. That's the life of Brian for today.

One New Year's Revolution (yes, I know. But that's how I say it.) is to read a short story every day. I read in bed, if you can call Tale of Genji reading, but I also write a bit. Let's see what short stories are like, I said. I've written a few, maybe more are in the works. We'll see in 365 days what comes up.
