hey again.. (sorry i was away, in montreal, doing way more fun things that worrying about going to see my dentist)
my dentist appointment is tomorrow at 12:45 pm....i think i can pretty much handle the exam since i'm getting some kind of gas sunstance sedation...i really want to be ok for at least this part... and everyone knows at the office that i'm really skittish so i'm treated well (and i don't have to wait in the waiting rom because it's not fair that i'm freaking out in front of other people ...the staff have been pretty good about letting me hang out in an empty room)
my biggest concern, enough that i can't eat cuz i'll throw up, is facing the situation when dr. copp comes into the room after the exam and the x-rays and has to tell me exactly how messed up my teeth are and then tell me the millions of fillings and extractions and other messed up stuff i'm going to need done.
i really don't think i can take going thru that again. he just walks in the room and 'breaks the news to you' because your teeth are still all messed up and you're going to need all this treatment and it's going to be terrifying and painful all over again.
i just don't think i can go thru that again. i really can't. but i don't know if i can just leave after the exam and xrays. that's what i want to do (as illogical as that sounds to everyone) just to avoid having to go thru any more treatment. i just don't want to know. i can't go thru that again. i really can't.
the staff can't make me stay, right?. i mean, i do have the right to refuse treatment even to the point where i don't even want to stay for the bad news?
does that make me an asshole if i just leave? i don't want to insult anyone. i just can't go thru this again, another set back with all this bad news he's going to tell me and the treatment i'm going to need and it's going to suck all over again.
