puppetmaker | Double Dental Surgery Today

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.
