susandennisMove on along... This entry is all about the dental drama...
The simple take-your-bloodpressure appointment turned out to be an hour and a half of talking and explaining and waiting and I am really ready for this to be over.
On the up side, the dentist is really very nice. Really. And patient and kind and gentle. He spent a long time with me and made it very easy to ask any and every single question I could think of. He swears I will not be in pain. I told him I didn't believe him. He said I would have soreness but not pain. We could be confused by definitions...
But, he is not a fan of preventative antibiotics! And he did not give me a prescription for pain killers. He told me 1 or 2 ibuprofin with 1 or 2 tylenol would be all I needed and I guess I believe him. Since I rarely ever take either one, they might just be fine. I do plan to lay in some soft foods.
Oh and they told me to wear Depends as a precaution. I think that's 1) hilarioius and 2) a really good idea.
I paid for the whole shebang and told them I'd see them on Monday. Thank goodness for Discover's cash back bonus!
