Nana's are Beautiful
My Mom is paying, although the amount is OMG freaking outragious..........in my opinion. Of course I have to keep in mind this is without insurance helping out too.
I met with the billing girl last week in person to discuss how to do this since Mom is out of state and it will be with her credit card.. I figured it would be less confusing that way. lol And it was so much easier to do it like that instead of talking on the phone. Dentist has no problem and gave me a whopping 5 percent discount. But hey every little bit helps.
So next I had to run it past Mom again to be certain she wanted to do this.
Then once she said yes, had to call back to the appointment. And that's where the snag was. I know I need this. I know this is the best and only real solution. But I had some real issues making that call for the extraction appointment. I have issues when it's 1 tooth. But my whole mouth put it on a waaaaaay different level.
I just called them and set it up today. Literally had to force myself past the anxiety and make myself pick up the phone and dial the number. ugh
As of next Tues afternoon I will be toothless.
Thank gawd he's a kind and thoughtful man. He's calling in scripts for valium and the pre medication antibiotic. The valium is to make sure to keep my anxiety down so I actually show up for the appointment. lol
I hope he's equally as generous with pain medications for after. Cuz I can only imagine how wonderful that's going to feel.
Then I heal for up to 6 weeks then we do the dentures.
Weird as it sounds............and keep in mind I am in no way a vain person..........just the thought of dentures in my mouth makes me want to heave, gag, and retch. So this is gonna be interesting. lol I hope it turns out to be no big deal when the time comes.
And then of course there is that whole 6 wks without teeth. While I'm not vain, I'm sure it's not gonna do a thing to enhance my appearance. Six weeks is a loooooong time. A long time I'll be hiding in the house as much as possible. lol
So there it is. Be proud of me. I made the appointment. I will follow through with it, even though he'll probably have to put me to sleep to get me to stay in the chair, drugged up or not. lol
OMG I am terrified of dentist..............
