Poor, Poor Pitiful Me

Tomorrow is the oral surgeon's second shot at putting in a bloody abutment.  (The abutment itself won't be bloody...  You know what I mean.)  I am steeling myself for the agony that is one set of the anesthetic injections.  Already having to pay for all this twice, I'm punting on having myself knocked out.  Thirty, forty-five seconds, maybe?  I did it before...

Ouch. I feel your pain. I had a root canal last year and the worst part was the anesthetic. The new stuff the dentists use contains a form of epinephrine which I react to badly it seems. I suffered it out to get it over with but now I am terrified of anymore dental work. Good luck today. Sending positive vibes...

Here's hoping that abutment goes where it is supposed to go!
