So, I don't remember if I've said anything about this or not, but last week my dentist confirmed that my wisdom teeth are coming in, and that they'll cause a problem if I don't get them removed...

Yesterday we went to a consultation to discuss what was going to go on during my surgery. The surgeon was really nice, so I'm glad she'll be my surgeon... But then she explained everything that could go wrong in the procedure...

For those who don't know, which I know is probably a lot of people actually... I have very mild hypochondriasis. In short, I'm someone who has fears of or who actually creates illness within themselves. Of course, we never actually have the things we think about. It's just blown out of proportion in our mind. We usually focus on one symptom of a specific ailment and think that happens whenever we feel pains or ill. Mine is actually appendicitis. I've thought for years that every time my side ached it was my appendix bursting... It's not fun. Well, the pains were actually a kidney stone and ended up hurting like hell, but it's not fun thinking you are going to die because of your appendix bursting.

Anyways, while she was telling me everything that could happen, I got really woozy. I made it through her explanation, but I'm really nervous about the procedure. I'm not going into detail about what she told me, but I'm really not excited for what might happen. The only thing I'm okay with is the over-emotional reactions to the smallest things. I think it will be interesting to see what things set me off crying.

Well, I'll talk more about that though when it gets closer to the procedure. Wish me luck.
