At least I got the Xmas cards out today

My face still hurts [neck/jaw muscles and where the temporary crown is] from Tuesday. Since the tooth being drilled is the last one in the bottom right of the jaw the dentist had to work hard to get the decay out. As I apparently have a small mouth and even smaller lower jaw, finding a tray to hold the molding goop was nigh impossible. He eventually had to carve chunks off of a longer tray, so it would fit. He's the best dentist I've ever had, but gads my teeth are such cr@p.
