the countdown begins...

For all of you that know me well, you will know that I am terrified of going to the dentist. Do not ask why, I just am. I would have never gone had someone not offered to cover all costs for me. (Last Christmas I asked God to give me new teeth, and totally belived that I would wake up Christmas morning with a new set of teeth... I didnt, and was quite put out by the whole experience.)

My very first appointment they took GIANT pictures, up close of my teeth. My bottom lip quivered the whole time. Then, as if seeing my teeth as large as my head wasnt bad enough, they made me take them home...to show all my friends??? (I have told Leb that if he needs something to depict sin, he could use the pictures...)

My second appointment the lady cleaning my teeth asked..."do you drink a lot of Coke?" I responded very calmly letting her know that I had an eating disorder for 5 years...she was embarassed...I was ok with it.

This Tuesday I will be at the dentist getting one wisom tooth pulled, one root canal, and all of the fillings on my upper right side of my mouth replaced... all in three easy hours. I will not be put under, but will have laughing gas (which I am told is just like having 4-5 beers without the hang-over.)

Needless to say, PRAY that I dont cop out... and brush your teeth regularily!!!
