My lower left wisdom tooth is killing me.
It's been like this since Sunday.
I called Gentle Dental to make an appointment for a consultation. Apparently, January 22nd is the soonest they could squeeze me in.
I called back today because the hypochondriac side got to me, and I'm convinced its infected. That scored me an "emergency dental visit" with the dentist tomorrow morning for x-rays and to make sure everything is okay.
I'm paranoid about getting them removed. My family doesn't have the best history with anesthesia (trouble coming out of it). I've never had surgery before so I've never been put under. A large part of me just wants to do it under local anesthesia, but all I hear is horror story after horror story. Plus, I think if I see the surgeon coming at my mouth with a big drill, I might just freak out. Maybe if I can be under local anesthesia while wearing a blindfold and blaring my ipod in my ear, I'll be okay.
(has anyone else here have their teeth out just under local? was it that bad?)
In other news, this year I got my very first REAL Christmas tree. My mom always used artificial trees because she was afraid our cats would eat all the pine needles. Mike and I bought a real tree this year and I couldn't be more excited.
there it is! and there's the huge (it comes up to my bum!) nutcracker my mom bought me.
(p.s. i collect nutcrackers. in the far right of the picture, you can see part of another nutcracker. that one used to be the biggest one. the one my mom bought far trumps it, though.)
...it doesn't even feel like christmas.
