Hello again, sorry i haven't been keeping posted on the situation, as nothing has yet to come up.
Similarly, sorry if i don't reply to anny comments, sometimes i don't have time to reply and forget to afterward. But do know i'm not ignoring anyone, you're all very helpful. And kept me somewhat calm during my seemingly awful situation. Even though it's not that at all.
Anywho, down to the topic at hand. So as i said, nothing about insurance or a consultation has come up. I looked on the website that has my new health insurance and it says i do have dental insurance. But i ahven't gotten a call to confirm it yet, and so far nobody has picked up when i call them.
And while i'm waiting for all this to finally happen and be done with. My anxiety has been coming in waves so to speak. Most of the time i'm not thinking about the up and coming wisdom tooth extraction. But other times it comes right back and I have to keep reassuring myself that the situation isn't as bad as I make it out to be. And i have to keep reminding myself of all the helpful advice you guys have given me. I have to keep telling myself that people have MUCH more complicated surgeries done and be very successful.
But while i'm not having panic attacks, the situation still weighs down on me. While i'm not panicking, i'm still kind of stressing. Does that make sense? I think the fear of anesthesia has worn off a little and spread to worrying about the actual operation, which is something I was not at all worried about prior. I think that it finally clicked that i'm having something done to me that I haven't had done in many many years. And the anxiety of that is finally catching up to me.
I know this kind of stress is normal for the type of situation I'm in. But I keep making it out to be a lot worse than it is. I keep telling myself that this very simple Wisdom tooth removal is equivalent to an open heart surgery, and that every worst case scenario that can happen will happen. And those four wisdoms are just now growing in according to everybody I've been through. I'm told they don't even need to break them into four pieces and they can just scoop them out.
Has anyone been able to fully block out these horrible feelings?
