So tomorrow is the big gum surgery day. I met with the pre-op lady today who I actually know outside of the dentist office and she is super sweet. When I told her I couldn't find anyone to take my place, she suggested a mutual friend. We all had a laugh at his expense. (He had previous oral surgery and went a little loopy as the sedation was wearing off.) And then she answered all my questions, except where do I find the nearest window to scurry out of.
For the small price of $1111.00 I get to have the dentist remove tissue from the roof of my mouth and graft it onto the front of my lower teeth. Gosh it sounds fun just talking about it. I'm not really worried about the pain. I mean come on. I have two words for you--vaginal delivery. Sheesh. Really not to scared about the pain aspect.
But I have issue with being put under sedation. Uhg. I am such a control freak that I can't stand being out of control of my mind for even a little while. Here's a little secret. I have never been drunk in my life. Not even a little buzz and do you know why? Conrol freak.
The other big issue. Brushing my teeth. I won't be allowed to brush my bottom front teeth for a week. I have special mouth rinse to clean the area with until I can brush. Sigh. I think the next week is going to be annoying at best. At least I get a vacation from my "job". D and my mom are here, so all I'm required to do is rest in bed and catch up on movies and reading. The things I will do to get some quiet time!!
Anyway. If you are praying already, slip a little prayer in there for me and my thin gums. We'll need it tomorrow.
