Trip to the Dentist
Tuesday, February 28th, 2023
Today is another trip to the dentist, and while I'm getting to the point that I can pretty much deal with these things, I won't be sorry when I don't have to. I know they mean well, and I know it's childhood trauma, but it's also the experience you have with the dentist, and therein lies a tale.
Today is two weeks after a procedure that was performed with such brutality, it set me back at least a decade in my comfort level with the dentist. It was a new guy, and he was brutal... just brutal. But it was done, and I counted my blessings that it was done. Now I have to go back for a post-op check, and get the stitches removed. I'm not looking forward to it.
I know it'll be over, and that's what I have to look forward towards, because thinking about what happened two weeks ago is mighty painful. But I'll survive.
