Jul. 13, 2007 - NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well. I have some good news, and I have some bad news. Freakishly bad news. Bad news that turned my stomach upside-down. But I have some other good news too. But the bad news is the worst.
I suppose you want me to tell you what the bad news is, right? I mean, it is SO bad, that it will go on my permanent record. It’s like, BAD bad. Really bad news!
*sigh* Ok. The first good news is, I went to the dentist (who, by the way, is a great guy and always makes me laugh while he’s sticking sharp metal into my mouth) and got some great news from him and all the nurses. They were all in agreement that I have absolutely beautiful teeth. Perfectly straight, white, and no cavities! (big grin and celebration dance inserted here) Then they gave me the BAD news.
The BAD news is, they have to take some of my beautiful, white, straight teeth OUT. (big grin disappears and is replaced with buckets of water running down my shirt front) Turns out, my wisdom teeth are growing in – just not the way they’re supposed to. The bottom wisdom teeth are growing in sideways towards my molars, so they’re scraping the side and causing me some pain. The top wisdom teeth are growing in the opposite direction – towards my ears. So, the only solution is to take them out by surgery. (insert death music here)
The brutal truth is, I am FREAKED OUT BEYOND MEASURE. All stories I’ve heard of people with their wisdom teeth taken out by surgery ended up in throbbing mouths for weeks, infected gums, and big, fat, chipmunk cheeks. NOT cool. This will be my first time going under, and I am soo not looking forward to it. My dad kept saying, “Oh, Emma, you have nothing to worry about!” (fake, happy voice here.) “You’ll be fine! Besides, you were LUCKY enough to get a mouth like your old man!” And then he smiled, and I got a view of the Himalayas inside my father’s mouth.
All I have to say now is, Fisher, I completely understand your pain. >.< And all of you had better be praying extra hard on the day of surgery that I’m not going to fly out of the operating room in my nightgown and run home, AWAY from sharp utensils and happy gas.

If it's any consolation, though, I'm having MY wisdom teeth out sometime....

I will be praying for you!
(...and just so you know I had impacted wisdom teeth and my surgery actually wasn't that bad. I had them out when I was in college. My surgery was on Friday. and I was back to school - doing fine - by Monday.) Not a horror story at all.
Blessings,

I'm so sorry about your teeth!! That was a pretty creepy looking x-ray.
Well, I'm back from MD, and you haven't died. :) I must say, you and I just haven't different types of beauty. And I didn't abandon you...I missed you too! I just didn't have that much time to get on the computer. But now I'm back, and with a vengence! (Well, not really...just saying that for the heck of it ;)

Word of encouragement-
How many stories have you heard about horrors happening? How many stories haven't you heard about success?
No one talks about success. It's done, over with, let's move on. Bad things happen, and people dwell on those. I'm sure you'll be fine. Keep your mouth clean.
And don't say any dirty words. Those definitely don't help. ;)
About to go make muhself a blogger, I think..
