root canal

So, one morning when I was flossing, half of a tooth fell out, and now I'm in Almaty for a week having a root canal. Blagh. I have to call a lot of people who don't speak English to let them know where I am and to fish for a place to sleep. Sigh. Hope it works. Meanwhile, the warm weather changed, and it's raining and about 50F. In Uralsk, when I left, it was snowing pretty hard.
