Double Dental Surgery Today
Posted By Kathleen David on May 12, 2008
I know it is not going to be as bad as it is in my head.
I know that.
I have had this dentist poking around in my mouth for 10 years now and he has always been good about pain management and making sure that I am ready for the procedure. I think part of it is the sounds and smells. I can hear the drill drilling into my tooth. I can feel the vibration in my skull. I can smell the bone being ground down.
And after he is done, I go to the oral surgeon and have him take care of the other part of the problem. Which I am hoping is going to be simple and quick. I am also hoping that in light of my earlier root canal, my insurance will allow him to put me under so I don’t know anything until it is done. Which is the hope I am holding onto that is making this day bearable.
I know I can’t go around with this nagging pain in my head. It is just not healthy. And have a constant infection can’t be good either.
So I suck it up and go into to get the problem fixed.
With any luck I look better come out of this than Neil did after his slammed his face into a pipe.
So think good thoughts for me around noon which is the root canal and 2ish which is the Apigo.
I am grateful for a good dentist. They can be hard to find.
Best of luck on both counts!

Ouch! I had some news I wanted to tell you about my writing, but since it seems you’re going to be distracted before and after you dental visit. I guess it can wait. Good luck with that!
