I hate to say it...

but Kat is right, the actual process itself isn't that painful, more like annoying, having to keep your mouth open for so long, really makes the jaw ache. The most annoying bit was the xrays, that damn cardboard is so uncomfortable. I was really surprised at how little pain I felt after the local wore off last night, though eating is a little challenging, but ibuprofen helps with that pain.
I think my physio hurt me more yesterday than the dentist did, damn was I sore last night after her torture, but I don't have to go back until after I get my MRI results, so that will be like 3 weeks away, yey, 3 weeks without torture, aren't I a lucky girl!
Todays torture, however, is to write 5 weeks worth of reflective journal entries in 4 hours, fun huh! So I had better move my ass, or I won't get it done. Later all.
