An Upcoming surgery....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh! I just made an appointment to have my wisdom teeth pulled. AHHHHHHHHH! You must relies I have NEVER had surgery for anything, ever. The only time I was hospitalized was to have my children and I didn't even stay a whole 24 hours in the hospital. LOL. I didn't!!! So, this is big, huge! I know I need to have it done and I can't keep putting it off. Once you get a certain age they won't even think of doing it. I think I'm actually a little "old" to be getting it done in the first place. Usually, they do it when your in your teen years. Ugh~ So, my appointment isn't until March. YIKES! It's still a scary thought. I'm going to be "put under." That alone scares the CRAP right out of me. Wait, until I tell my parents. I can see my mom now...She'll be nervous for me. It's good though, I guess. I don't want crowding in the future. The whole procedure will only take 30 minutes. She said, no contacts! (OH GREAT!) No eating for 8 hours before you come in. (Wonderful!) Short sleeve shirt (so the prev- can have easy access, GROSS!) and to have a ride home. (Right, like I'm going to drive after having my gums cut and teeth yanked out.) Anyway, at least the appointment is set in stone. You have to pray for me. This will be a drastic time for me.
Yes, please do. I love you too Babe. Thanks. I am trying to stay strong, but it's still scary.

yuck...i hated getting my wisdom teeth out. it's pretty routine, so you shouldn't worry too much, but any type of surgery is scary! But hey - at least they'll put you under! :) I just had some novicane shots and that's it! It hurts for a long time afterwards - make sure you have lots of painkillers!

Yeah, it seems like everyone has had it done- even Charles. Ugh. I'm not looking fwd to it. This guy at my job just had it done last week...I haven't seen him around, but he went to the same surgeon that I'm going to. I'm going to be sure and make him tell me everything. I'm frightened to dealth!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh. :(
