Root Canal
I was supposed to get a root canal in about 3 days and i already waited about a month and 1/2 and the days after the root canal i have alot of important things to do (in person) like dinner and stuff and i was wondering if it would bother anything or make anything worse/ unrepairable if i waited another month?

You could end up damaging your tooth if you wait. But, if you have a dentist you trust knows what hes doing, you have nothing to worry about. Mine was totally painless but for the shot to numb me up. Seriously. I was worried sick for nothing.

I agree with the previous answer- it's always better to get dental work done as soon as possible, especially an important procedure like a root canal. You really should make an appointment soon, as waiting can only make it worse.
Depending on the severity of the infection (if there is one at all), waiting too long can worsen your condition, and will increase the pain. It might also cause the tooth to be unreparable, which would mean you'd have to get it extracted.
A few years ago I had a fractured tooth- it probably started off small, and because I waited instead of getting it taken care of right away, I had to get a crown placed on the tooth. Had I gone in ahead of time, I might not have even had to get a crown, and a simple filling or sealant would have been enough. Moral of the story? Waiting to get dental treatment done is never a good idea. Better early (or on time) than too late.

I'm not a dentist, but have had root canals. The only thing that will make anything worse is maybe the tooth. If your tooth is bad enough to need a root canal...waiting longer may make the tooth hurt worse.
Get it over with. After the dentist finishes your root canal you'll probably be a little sore afterwards but you should be able to still get things done. I'm a single mom and have had 2 root canals. I was able to get things done afterwards. Sounds like you're a little worried and trying to talk yourself out of it. Get it over with. You'll feel alot better about it if you do.
