Well a visit to my friendly endodontic specialist took care of my toothache.

My tooth was really painful before I went.

I've always been asked to relate pain on a scale of 1 to 10.

But here is the Dizzy Pain Scale that I personally use:

1. What pain?
2. Only if I think about it
3. Sometimes hurts
4. Always hurts
5. It's become a distraction
6. It's become a major distraction
7. It's impacting my ability to function
8. I am non-functional
9. Shoot me.  Please!!
10. Again!!!

Before my dental visit I was at an 8.5 on the Dizzy Pain Scale.

After my visit, a 1.5. 

It's amazing!

I am functional again!

What's that Fred?

You doubt that I've ever been functional?

Thanks Fred.
