first off, my dad is having open heart surgery tomorrow. he needs to have one of his valves replaced. he's at one of the best hospitals in the country for that (cleveland clinic), and he really likes his surgeons. apparently, the head surgeon he's working with does something like 70 heart transplants a year, so he's in good hands. regardless, he's ( Read more... )

thanks love. i know it'll be ok, and he'll be much better off after this, but the thought of someone cutting open my dad's chest to toy with his vitals doesn't really sit right with me, y'know? lol.

the whole reason they want to pull my tooth is because it's the type of infection where the domino effect will happen. so i know i can't put it off, and it's going to be over with soon, but i really, really, really don't want to be completely toothless. like i said, my mom is losing her job, and her dental insurance will be gone by the time i'll be able to get a bridge or an implant done. not to mention the fact that my dad isn't going to be able to work for a while and i'm broke as shit. so what that all means is that i AM going to be totally toothless for the meantime. like i'll have one of those "snap on" things, but god damn to they feel uncomfortable and they look so totally artificial it's not even funny. and i'll probably have to wear that until my family and i can save up the 1 grand for a bridge with no insurance or the something like 5 grand for an implant with no insurance. it's not a happy thought.

AND on top of that, my dentist is doing it, not an oral surgeon. so that means that i'm going to be completely concious while all this is going on. that scares the everliving piss outta me. i mean, i don't know about you, but while i'm having that kind of shit done, i like to be completely disassociated with reality. heh.

i think i was gonna say more, but i forget. but on a completely different note, catch me on yahoo sometime soon. i wanna send you some things.
