Ok, to start this off I want to tell everyone I plan on posting a much more detailed version of my story later tonight, I planned to weeks ago but, the anxiety of actually telling people and such got in the way.
Here's the cliff notes for now:
I have horrid teeth. I know lots of people say that here, but I literally do. I'm the youngest I've seen on here, 23. That's only relevant to explain why I think I am the worst, and taking on the worst case scenario.
January 10th ish, I found an abscess on my front tooth, and after googling and thinking I was going to die, i rushed to med express. I got antibiotics.
Jan. 29th I went to a dentist the first time in 8 years. I got through it despite shaking, crying, and probably annoying the nurse because she had to redo xrays 3 times cause I couldn't keep still. They did all that, made a file, and asked what I thought they should do. Well I knew what would have to happen, all my teeth removed. The dentist said yes, that's really the only thing we can do. 23 with full dentures...
Feb. 2, I went back to have the molds for temp dentures. That hurt, when all of your teeth are broken, everything hurts though.
Today, Feb. 15th is my meeting with the surgeon. I'm already terrified and shaking, Ive got about 2 hours til I leave. I know he's just going to examine me and make a plan but it just means I'm over the last step and it's time to do this. I feel like if I don't calm down I'll have a heart attack. (I have got my heart rate so fast the ER had to give me meds to reset it and such.) While that's probably not going to happen, it's still a fear.
So there it is. It's pretty horrible and embarrassing, but that's my current situation. I don't know if I can do this, everything about the surgery scares me. From me freaking out in the chair, to the iv sedation, the possibility of a freak reaction and dying, to the whole recovery process. I guess if someone can just tell me that they did it and I can too that would help.. I'm just going crazy.
