A TRIP TO THE DENTIST THIS WEEK: Time to fix my old root canal! When I was 14 or so, I had to go to the dentist 7 weeks in a row for a root canal. Every week, my mother drove me into Chicago. Dr. Gruener would force a clamp around my molar and drill and pick and pack and prod. Seven weeks in a row... Imagine my delight when I found out I had to have it fixed again...
