Holy MF-er!!! I had a dentist appoitment today to begin the work on my upper tooth for a crown.
Somehow I thought knowing less would ease my nerves about the whole procedure, but not even close!!
First they forgot to put on the numbing gel, so it was straight to the shots of Novocaine for me. Not really all that bad..but that set the tone on nerves.
Then he cranked my jaw open with what I could only imagine was an ACTUAL TIRE jack! That sonofabitch was cutting into my gum, it was more than uncomfortable. Then the drilling began...ugh. And all of this with a fucking migraine to boot! What the hell was I thinking...
The pounding shortly followed the first set of drilling, then more cranking on the tire jack. Then I have to move my jaw to the right...NOT my head, my jaw. I begin feeling like the street cat with a crooked jaw on Lady and the Tramp.
Just as I thought my heart would literally pound right out of my chest, he was finished.
Once he was done, he proceded to tell me about the next several apointments spanning over the next 3 months to finish this up. Blah blah blah, surgical procedure, blah blah, will have actual stitches...blah blah..don't go anywhere for a week in case they fall out. And finally he says "do you have any questions?" I couldn't even speak!
I wanted to run for the door like a deranged lunatic screaming...NEVER NEVER NEVER!
But within 10 minutes I found myself at the front counter schedul Step 2 (aka Let's Do Some Quiltwork On Your Gums).
I'm already dreading it!
