| Fear of Reclining Vinyl Chairs | Wee-hoo for flu shots. I had one last week for the first time in my life. Big-ass needles are involved in flu shots. Other than that, I can't complain about the experience. Not having to rumble with influenza this year will be well worth it. So, HollyBear claims she posted to the blog yesterday, but said post is nowhere to be found. Holly? Have you lost your mind? I've had a massive toothache for three days coming from somewhere in the vicinity of my wisdom teeth. I suppose this means I should go to the dentist. Haven't been to the dentist in about 3 years. I hate going to the dentist for the following reasons: 1. I don't like people poking around the inside of my mouth with sharp objects and injecting things into my face that cause me to drool for hours afterward. *whimper*
2. The last time, I went to my hometown dentist, Dr. Cacco. Despite being a dentist, Dr. Cacco is an awfully nice guy who goes to great lengths to not shred the inside of his patients' faces. I don't have a dentist here in Ohio, and I'm scared I'm going to end up with some Horrible Dentist of Ill Repute who will leave me bleeding and my mouth resembling Austin Powers'.
3. The Big Reason - The dentist is going to tell me that I need to have my wisdom teeth removed. I've been avoiding this for a long time now, and I think my evasive tactics are catching up with me. I've never had surgery in my life, and I don't want to start now. I really dislike the notion of being unconscious and completely defenseless while someone removes bits of my skull, then being in great pain and having to subsist on baby food for days afterward.
