get my wisdom teeth removed

I’m about a month out of surgery and it was, by far, the worst experience of my life. Not trying to intimidate or scare anyone, this was just my experience.

Fortunately, I don’t remember anything from the surgery itself, just crying and being REALLY upset before and after. The pain meds I was given took 30 minutes to kick in, then wore off after 1 1/2 hours… leaving me in devastating pain until I could take another Darvocet. To top it off, I got a dry socket which required packing twice.

My jaw still hurts and I feel like I have a hole in my head, just now beginning to eat crunchy foods.

I have an appointment set for the big day and for the consult. I’m really afraid of having to be put under for the procedure, but I’ll find out more about that as the time draws nearer.

I had to reschedule due to the schedules of people that will/would potentially take care of me post-op… but it’s all good now.

Just… a little… nervous.

So, I’ve had a little setback. My initial dentist appointment was supposed to be tomorrow, so I could get a referral… but I forgot and agreed to work. I had to reschedule and they couldn’t squeeze me in for another month.

I’m so upset with myself! Grrr…

Been procrastinating on this for years now… I just need to suck it up and get it done. I have created a special healthcare spending account for this reason.
