99.999999999999% of the time I can't stand the thought of going to the dentist. Well, actually I guess it IS 100% but this time I'm (not but am) looking forward to my Thursday's oral surgery where they remove what's left of these dilapidated pieces of bone or whatever they are from my mouth and stick in the uppers of my new dentures.
IMMEDIATELY?!?!?!!? Yup - right off the bat - right over the top of those holes and cut gums (guessing there's going to be at least 1 cut gum because my tooth that is broken there has nothing to grab a hold of) and stitches. YEOWITCH! BUT on the plus side, all the illnesses and yucky feelings I've had will soon be gone once we get these infection ridden teeth gone.
I hope Andy can handle me not having teeth and will be ok with kissing me with my teeth out - otherwise, bye-bye morning kisses before work. But I don't think it'll be a problem (I hope). He's glad it's finally getting done as well. I'm glad he's going with me.
Must admit, tho, I am still scared to death and excited at the same time. My anxiety level is through the roof just knowing this week is THE week. So the part of me that wants these teeth gone the way they should have been gone decades ago is excited, but the little kid in me that was traumatized by the dentist when I was really young is scared right to death. Glad I got anti-anxiety meds! Thank God for my therapist and psychiatrist's understanding!
Lord what a boring post. Why couldn't I remember to post here when stuff was happening?? Ah well - it is what it is.
