Another Countdown

[letsconnect]

You've done much more difficult things in the past, and coped amazingly well . I'll have to knock off in a minute, but I wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow

(and by this time tomorrow, all this worry will be a thing of the past)

Thanks I can't believe how nervous I am. I pass the office on my way to work. As I passed today, my stomach got all knotted up and I started crying. Oh why didn't I just cancel. This is crazy, I had an apicoectomy, yet I am nervous about a cleaning I only have three hours to go and I am freaking out. I am at work, trying not to cry or show coworkers just how freaked out I am. I can't help it I am just panicing right now.

Oh why didn't I Cancel!!!!!!!!

My appointment is in 1 hour My boss just called and is running late. I was so hoping he wanted me to cancel, but he said he would be here in time, & if not I could go ahead, because he would be here shortly after I left, the employees could handle the office for a few minutes

I am shaking like a leaf and tearing up right now. Trying to hide in my office so no one sees how upset I am. I just want to crawl in a hole right now.

I had no luck talking to the office when they called to confirm, all I could manage to say is "Yes", so I do not hold out much luck of trying to ask to be numbed up today

I just wanted to wish you lots of luck for your appointment - not that you'll need it as I'm sure you'll be OK .

I know you want to crawl in a hole and cancel it but if you do cancel, you're not actually cancelling it really - just putting it off until later. You can do this - you've been through much worse and you've still come a long way so you've got the strength to do this .

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself - all you can do is your best.

I've got my fingers crossed for you

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Vicki...I really needed those suppotive words right now. I will let you know how it goes. Right now I am shaking so bad, can't imagine what I will be like when I get there. If it weren't for this site, I am sure I would have cancelled the appointment. Thank You all for your support

Hi guys, I'm back Well she didn't even offer numbing, no gel either. Luckily I don't have that many teeth to clean, so it didn't take too long, but about five minutes into it, my jaw started hurting bad. Each time she stopped to pick up a new instrument, I tried to move my jaw out of the painful position. I took Advil as soon as I got back to the office. I am completely exhausted!!!

The dentist came in after the cleaning and pointed to a tooth and said "this one needs work" (the same one he had previously said would probably need a root canal) He didn't say root canal today, just that it needs work, and as usual, I didn't ask what kind of work. He did say he wanted to workon the right side of the mouth first and see if the teeth on the left settledown a bit. I am hoping that will happen.

My appointment is set for 1 week to work on the tooth, but I may need to call and reschedule, as that is the week before Mother's Day and we are getting busy at work. I may have to call anyway, due to the fact that my jaw is starting to spasm and see if he can prescibe something for that. I am hoping the Advil will kick in soon and work, but if not he will have to help me out, because it is very painful.

Thanks for all of the support, I am sure I would never had gone without all of you. Now I have another appointment to look forward to

Hey Freakout,

Looks like we are both going in on Wednesday morning.  That's when I get my extraction.

I so know what you mean about not wanting to go in AGAIN.  I am seriously considering going to a different dentist because I am starting to feel like a freak, needing all of these complex dental procedures.

hi Luba1

Well done for getting through it

(please check your PMs)

 

[freakout]

Thanks Let...I got my PM. I have decided that when I see the dentist, I am going to request that he put a note in my chart, that for future cleanings, I be numbed up, so as to avoid these painful muscle spasms. I have even written it down. I do not care if I am shaking when I hand it to him, I can't go through this pain after every cleaning, & if I don't say something, I'll be too afraid to go through with my six month cleaning. See I have learned something lol.
