I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

Ok. I have been reading all sorts of Scuba message boards about tooth problems. Scaring myself half to death. I am probably over-reacting about the whole thing. But 80ft down is not the place you want to have something go wrong.

So this morning I called the endodontist office to see if there was a chance of cancellations to have this taken care of before my trip. The reason I changed my mind about the oral surgeon is because a surgical extraction can take 2-6 weeks to heal. I am leaving in 3 weeks. That’s too risky. So she said “What are you doing tomorrow?”

Well…I have phones from 8:30-11 and then I am supposed to work at 5pm. I found replacements for both jobs. So I called her back and said tomorrow at 11:45 would be fine.

Hopefully this can be taken care of in one visit. That will give me 3 weeks to make sure it is ok. I will do a pool dive when Matthew gets home (he wanted to do one anyway) to make sure the reg does not give me any problems.

I am a little scared about this procedure. If he discovers a crack, I will have to have the extraction anyway. There is also the possibility that he could crack it because the tooth is already weak from the first root canal. It’s a crapshoot. But I have to take the chance.

At least I get to fly on gas while I am there. J Just say N.O. !!!!

Time to watch Survivor on TiVo and have it be over just in time to catch The Office live on the bedroom TV while TiVo is recording CSI. Ahhhh…the wonders of technology.
