Part 1 of Root Canal: Done

I had part one of three in my root canal this morning. For about 4 hours after, half my face was still numb and it felt like I just got punched in the face. It's feeling better but still not completely great. My next appointment for part 2 is going to be May 17. There was an opening on the 16th but I told them that it was my Birthday that day and I really didn't want to spend it at the dentist. Now, I just can't chew on that side of my mouth for about two weeks.
