Dental Work and Determination

What else does a mountain biker do after a root canal, but hop on her bike and ride? Call me crazy, but after nearly wheezing myself to death up a nearby hill a few times, my tooth didn't seem to hurt as much when compared to the burning in my legs...

*Warning: This next section is not for the faint of heart*
The sweet news from my root canal: I am now the proud owner of a 2mm chunk of stainless steel embedded in my jaw. That's right, that little dental pick they use to poke around broke off inside the root of my tooth. Maybe I can use all that excess metal to pick up radio stations from Russia. Boy, that would rock...long rides would be much more entertaining when narrated by somebody named Sergei in Saint Petersburg. :)

I'd prefer the fun of metal detectors........BEEP....BEEP;
Airport guy: sorry mama you need to stop here.

You: oh, don't worry that's just my head.

Or MRI's maybe you'd get stuck to the side of the machine!!!!
