Mar. 28th, 2003 07:55 amthis is kinda gross - wait, scratch that; this is very gross. but it requires (at least to me) some background.
okay, a couple weeks back I finally made it back to the dentist for the latter part of my root canals - discovering then that because my tooth enamel is so very soft I need yet another root canal, possibly more; but I digress - replacing the temporary caps with permanent [crowns?]. anyway, during the week leading up to this I had noticed an unusual, not entirely pleasant but not really unpleasant taste in my mouth, and I was kinda wondering what it was. well, I found out. they popped the temps off and I swear it smelled like somebody shit in the office. something had gotten in there somehow and had rotted away - the source of the odd taste.
and the stuff I've been coughing up this morning? it has the same flavor. so something is rotting in my lungs; should I be worried?
