Hello everyone...
I'm scared.
I went to the dentist yesterday and turns out that I have inherited faulty tooth enamel...my enamel is simply not protecting my teeth as it should. Even though I don't drink regular pop and I don't chew sugar gum and I don't suck on hard candies, my teeth are wearing away. And so my first root canal is Monday.
And more are to follow. At least two more.
I'm really scared. My roommate leaves town Saturday and Barry still isn't back. I know that there are people I could call in an emergency, but I really wouldn't feel comfortable with it. I've never had any sort of surgery and now I have to go in for this, alone...I know it's supposed to be a relatively simple procedure but apparently I've really screwed up this tooth.
So I'm going to spend my weekend swallowing penicillin, taking vicodin, and buying ibuprofen for the times that I can't take the hard stuff. I guess I should stock up on groceries also. Monday at 9am I go in and depending on how I feel I will either go home in pain or head back to work.
I think right now what I'm most frightened of is the unexpected. I don't know how this is going to go. I've never experienced anything like this.
And I don't do well with pain.

Oh, Honey. You are going to be just fine. Do you have someone to drive you home? Stocking up on groceries is a great idea. Take is easy and breathe. You and your teeth are going to be better than ever! I will be praying for you. Email me and give me the time and more specifics, okay? Luv u, AA
I'm so sorry. I'm sure you take care of your teeth but sometimes it just runs in the family. I'm sorry that you have to go it alone. But you will come out of this stronger! You're very brave.
