Continuing the discussion from April 22, 2021:
I did, and it was worth it. I woke up with such little pain, I was practically giddy. Rest, and more rest.
I’ve starting calling dentists in the area, but it’s slow going. I have been able to talk to one person, but no appointments until mid-May… 
So, will keep calling everyone around me, as I don’t have a car, and I don’t want to take a bus to the dentist right now (because I feel vulnerable already, even more so after what’s probably going to be a root canal…).
And not being vaccinated means everything is stressful for the dentists as well… sheesh, this is hard.
But getting through it, one step at a time.
