november 3: post-filling update

well, it wasn't as horrible as i had feared. it's almost 7pm, and i've been awake now for about 2 hours. slept for about 5. i'm still groggy, and not the most comfortable i've ever been - my cycle started yesterday, so i've got cramps to go along with the mild digestive upset, headache and muscle pain in my shoulders and jaw, and sensitive teeth. my teeth are sensitive in a weird way. not so much to cold anymore, as just feeling kind of bruised. they feel a little numb, due to this new resin compound that i'm not used to. i have wonderful dentists who treated me like a queen, but even still, it's a physically traumatic procedure. i'm wiped out.
