I have too much drama in my life lately, and here is another bit. I have a 4-6 hour dental appointment today to have a small permanent bridge broken out of my mouth, 3 root canals and a temporary large bridge installed. Not exactly a piece of cake for me. I have a significant amount of bone loss in my jaw due to a past surgery and aging and I'm almost at the point of needing pins put it for stabilization. Most times I yawn I have to close my jaw manually. After several hours with my mouth propped open I can imagine what it will feel like. There is also a slight chance my jaw could break during this procedure. If so, I will be taken across the street to the hospital and they will do the pins if the surgeon is on duty today. Otherwise I would have to go to Springfield which is well over a 2 hour drive.

Long story short, I'm diabetic and stress like this messes with my sugar big time. This dentist is new to me. He has only done my evalutation, so I don't know if he's gentle or rough. My DH will be sitting in the waiting room fretting the whole time. Monday we have a full house of family arriving for a week, including the two Scotties, who will be staying with us after the humans leave.

Sorry this is so long....I guess I needed to ask for prayer and vent.

Thank you for your prayers and positive thoughts....Hugs, Barb
