It is Wednesday, Aug. 3 here in Dallas and I am not sleeping @ 2:50AM Central Standard Time. Today is the day for my big, big dental procedure and I am scared to death! I have to be at the dentists office by 7AM and the procedures will be finished around 4 or 5 pm. So many times in my past I have had really bad experiences with going to the dentist that I have just avoided going at all for the last - ummmm maybe 8 or 10 years! So there are lots of things wrong. I chose this new dentist because he does sedated dentristy. Supposedly I will be sound asleep the whole time. Tho I rather doubt it!
I doubt it because he prescribed a sleeping pill for me tonight and it is absolutely NOT working! I didn't sleep much last night either...... just have the jitters about getting this work done. I have seven cracked teeth most of them with cracked fillings also. I have one hollow tooth with an air gap - whatever the heck that is?? Almost all of my teeth have something wrong with them. The front top teeth are very crooked and overlap. They have cavities between the overlapping parts. These top front four will be capped and then lastly all my teeth will be whitened.
One thing I don't have, amazingly, is gum disease. I want to get all this over with in one big visit and have one big miserable time of pain and that will be that!''
PLEASE pray for me throughout this day. Pray that the dentist will be able to get me sedated enough that it will seem like nothing is going on and I will not feel anything or know anything all day long! Pray that I won't be the world's worst patient! Send happy thoughts my way all day. I hope that I am well on my way to sanity and able to post by Friday to let you all know how well I did "hope hope hope hope"......
Meanwhile at least my eating will be slowed down quite a bit! Who knows? Maybe I'll lose a pound or two the hard way!
Yesterday at the diabetes doctor's office my STATS were: 233# (same as this time last year) and my blood sugar was 105.
Love to all my WOW friends . . . Julie I have never had sedated denistry..some of my kids have, they love it.....I had bad experiences with dentists also and always hated it....I have dentures now, mostly because I could not afford the repairs..and I hated dentists....We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this and just remember "This too shall pass"..MaryB |
