2nd "Procedure" Coming Up!

I guess it could be worse...

This Friday I'm having my pre-molars extracted to make the last bit of space needed for this "new mouth." Again I ask myself "What have I gotten myself in to??" But at least it's not major surgery; although, I do have to have IV anesthesia which is kind of a bummer, BUT, that's what The Ninja said would be best, so be it. At least it means two days off from work?

Anyway, what are pre-molars? On the chart below, they are teeth numbers 5, 12, 21 and 28:

 

 

I only have two "concerns" with this procedure and yes, these are in order:

I wonder if I'll be able to get back to running a few days after the procedure?

 

and

 

NOW what am I going to look like?? As if looking like Goofy and sounding like Daffy Duck wasn't enough...ho hum...we shall see.

 

It's temporary, it's temporary...

Another Date!

Ok, ok...not "that" kind of date...darn!

The next date I have is to have 4 teeth extracted - 2 on top, 2 on the bottom - to create the last bit of space needed for my teeth to fit into. This procedure will be a piece of cake compared to the surgery! This happens next Friday (Aug. 30) - nothing like being drugged up and looking like a blowfish at work! I'll take the Vigil Mass off, but then I'll be back at it on Sunday morning - good thing we have a welcoming (and a forgiving!) community!
