So, on the drive home Sunday night after hockey, I had a toothache. For the longest time, I always had a toothache after a game of hockey. Every game. It was like magic. But then I went to the dentist, was diagnosed with an abscess, and had a root canal.

Before going to the dentist, the pain was easily subsided by swishing saltwater around. Once my dentist drilled everything out and put in a temorary filling, though, saltwater didn't work. I assume that's because the saltwater couldn't get inside the tooth to the infection anymore. He later finished off the root canal, and everything was fine.

Until now. My official self-diagnosis is that the filling cracked or otherwise came open. Yay! More visits to the dentist!

Um, at least I get time off work...
