An Extra Day in Anchorage and a ROOT CANAL

The last you heard from me, I was in Anchorage awaiting my trip to the dentist. Well, I went. She said I needed a ROOT CANAL. She called another doctor who said he could take me at 7:00 a.m. the next day. Normally they open at 9:00, but he would come in early to see me. As a result, I got to spend an extra night in Anchorage. Since I got to stay an extra day, I went to the mall.
I got up super early and went to the dentist and got my root canal. :) Then, I went to the original dentist and got the permanent filling put in (why can't the root canal guy also do the permanent filling????)
Then, I went to the airport to fly to Bethel. Somehow, I ended up in first class. Which was great because I had more room and could rest and recover from my procedure. We flew past Mt. Redoubt and could see the steam coming off. No eruption yet....just steam.
Made it into Bethel and went to wait for the "little plane". After waiting a couple of hours, they told us that there would be NO flight to Kipnuk this evening because of the weather.
Luckily, my friends who live in Bethel were willing to let me crash at their place AGAIN.
I hope I get back into the village tomorrow.

  1. Glad you got that much done! Root canal is no fun, but that they were able to do the filling the dame is a blessing. Normally I had to wait 2 days and yes always a different dentist. By the time you read this we pray you will be back in Kipnuk :)
