So I have surgery tomorrow.
Long story short, there's a tumor in my mouth. AWESOME, right?
Now, this is just an odontoma and not an OMG CANCER TUMOR, and this is oral surgery not brain surgery. He said they are usually benign, so I should be just fine. He's worried that I'll end up losing a lot of bone because of the removal, and so they're probably going to be doing bone grafts as well. This is where the cool part comes in, as I'll either be part zombie or part zombie cow, depending on the type of bone they use.
I'm going to be awake for the whole thing, mostly because it costs $400 to do general anesthesia and my insurance doesn't cover it, and partly because I'd like to go to work after I'm done. The guy looked at me like I was crazy when I told him that, but said if I am feeling okay I should be fine to go back.
Anyway, I go in at 11:30, so wish me luck and all of that. If you want to hear me hopped up on pain meds, give me a call later in the day, as I'm sure by then I'll be on something, haha.
