WILL I BE LESS SMART?

On Wednesday, June 7th 2006 I will be a brave toaster. One of my best friend’s little sister is going to stick a needle in me and yank my teeth out. I can’t complain…I get no sympathy from Daryl. It’s not my fault he’s had over $50,000 worth of dental and reconstructive surgeries…but he does have a nice face now.

I could have left it at that and had one hell of a story to tell! Truth is, I am getting my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday and I’m terrified. I’ve never had a needle in my mouth, never had a drill or anything. Never had a cavity or filling of any kind! I’m freaking out, but can’t let it show. My only saving grace, besides the ativan, is that Dr. Kristen Itagawa will be my dentist. Isn’t that completely bizarre?!? I had a consultation a few weeks ago, and it was so hard to be serious with Dr. Itagawa!

Ok, so back to my pending extraction…I know it has to happen. Kristen wouldn’t lie to me. But is it really going to hurt? And is it going to hurt bad enough for me to take the rest of the week off work?

Why are they called wisdom teeth?
