Dentists part II

Well, a while ago I posted about needing some of my wisdom teeth out [1]. Between Christmas and new year I got a phone call from the hospital, they were referring people to dental surgeries to try and get the waiting lists down. Monday night I got a call from a dentist surgery 45 minutes from home saying that they could do the deed this Friday. So I went in Tuesday for the consultation, which I'd already been through at the hospital. I found out that the hospital had referred me for a local anaesthetic only, not the sedation I was supposed to be getting. So I now find myself in a mixed emotion state. I don't need anyone to drive me around, or to stay with me this way, and I don't have to join the back of a long waiting list, but I now get to have my gums sliced open, bits of my jaw bone removed, and my teeth taken out sideways all whilst I'm awake.

I guess I should feel lucky that at least I'm in a place and time when I can get the dental work done I need, but I'm still bricking it.

Not sure it will be a fun weekend either.
