Three hours and counting

01.13.04 (9:49 am) [edit]

Santa brought me a gum infection (thank you, you fat old troll).

I have to say, I'm terrified of dentists. When I was a kid the school dentist was a butcher. My childhood experiences have left me with a total fear of dentists. But;

I went to a dentist about my gum a couple of weeks ago. He was VERY kind and understanding, but told me that I needed some root canal treatment. I've been on a course of antibiotics for the infection and have to go back in three hours from now to start the treatment. Yeah, I started counting down the hours about six hours ago. I know I'm being a wuss, I never pretended to be anything else. OK lets forget tall, muscular and Italian. Oh, and there's that thing on my C.V. and the tax return, and does cutting ten years off my age for my passport count?

*Deep breaths* "Nurse, where's my paper bag?"

If there's anybody reading this who hasn't been to the dentist for a while because of fear I can honestly say "go". It was completely pain free.

Oooh, root canal!! Fun, fun!! At least you can fill up on ice-cream afterwards, if that's your bag ;)

I hope you are feeling ok after your dental work. I am weird about going to the dentist. I love going! I think it is because after they give my teeth a good cleaning, they feel really good. Plus, I can just sit there and relax for 1/2 hour while they do their work. I was really happy when I got my current job because my dental insurance pays for two visits a year. Which means, I dont even have to pay for it. Woo!

To be honest I was the same. At one point the dentist said he was watching my feet, waiting for my toes to curl up. I was totally relaxed and feel quite happy about going back for the rest of the treatment.
