Sometimes
I really believe in becoming an adult, sometimes. I don't know if I
like this experience but I'm going through it one of the grand issues
I'm dealing with are perhaps have dealt with was my inordinate fear
of the whole dental process. The paralyzing fear of oral pain caused
by the dentist. As I've written in the past I would start freaking
out literally weeks before the scheduled appointment of fear
something happening was in the chair. But since my stenosis
operations things are changed perhaps it's just the amount of
medical/dental involvement which is coming to my life but I'm not
afraid anymore than some would say look forward to taking care of my
oral needs. The good of told me this a year ago and I would've not
believed you. Perhaps it's the Dr. I have Dr. Anderson (no reference
to Matrix please ) Have gotten to know this guy better than
ever known any other dentist I've had. I don't know why this make a
difference but it kind of does.
My
appointment was for 9 AM which I figured was a good number. Even that
was a little late but I had a great experience with Annette, my home
healthcare person who didn't have anywhere else to go following
getting me up and showered so Annette wanted to hang around for an
hour and do housework/cleaning. She had a 9 AM appointment so she
actually gave me an hour of work and nice she is. Anyway, I couldn't
wait around the apartment much longer with nothing to do and I didn't
want to get involved in anything that would take me having to pull
myself away like a word puzzle, person reading so I decided just to
go over to the dentist office. I was a half hour early but they took
me in and put me in a room I had never been in before. We always have
to be careful when they put me in a room specially a new one that we
have enough room for Dr. Anderson to get around in (hey you know
something funny I'm Mr. Smith
It is kind of matrix thing – – that's pretty funny). I really
like his staff they really like me and take good care of me which I
really appreciate. I was impressed Dr. A was running a full house
today all three chairs were full. The chair they put me in is
actually a fourth chair that they rarely used in the back is kind of
cool. I just sat back and enjoyed listening to the staff and other
folks getting the drill. Cindy, one of my favorites, was told to
start prepping me and she asked if I wanted nitric oxide. For some
reason that I think under normal circumstances I would not but I was
feeling so persecuted about my tooth and having to pay for more
dental intervention they said what the hell, “yeah Cindy give me
the gas”. She smiled at me and gave me a link and put the nose
piece on my face and I inhaled deeply. The guesswork quickly and
before long I was trying to take an image for a Facebook posting. I
was impressed with what I look like with my.I did not have the
flanging red hair are the oversize shoes but if the nitric oxide nose
piece had been red eye indeed look like a clown. Some days you just
gotta give yourself a break and today was my day for the gas, just
give me the gas…
