I love my Dentist

[threadwalker]

Seriously.

She pulled out my last wisdom tooth on Friday. I was terrified. Utterly. More afraid of that than the triathlon, than childbirth, and this new job. The only thing scarier than that was when my friends took me skiing down Hog Back (Bear Valley) the first time. I knew I was going to die on that slope whereas I was pretty sure I'd be only "near death" with the tooth. I envisioned blood, pain, swollen and pained face, blood, pain, dry socket... um.. lots of pain and lots of desire for pain killers. I cancelled all plans to take over the world last weekend.

But it turned out okay. Some ache that goes away with advil, a soft diet for a week and no working out. I love my dentist. She even called me last night at home to make sure I was okay AND gave me permission to have real food again AND said I could work out.

Yay! Lurve the dentist. She's on the border of Clayton and Concord if anyone needs one.

Does she have a clone in the Hayward-Fremont area? I haven't been to the dentist for a while but can now afford to go to one.
