3 MORE DAYS....

Well, here I am in all my crooked smiling glory. I know we are supposed to be happy with the way we look, but all my life I've hated to smile. My teeth are just awful, some my fault from not caring for them like I should have when I was small, and the other is just the fact that I just am one of those people who was not blessed with a pretty, healthy smile. So, I am having surgery on Wednesday and they are all getting cut out!! My gums are in VERY BAD SHAPE, terrible to say the least. My hubby is driving me nearly 2 hours away to an oral surgeon that came highly recommended. My appointment is at 12:45 on Wednesday afternoon. I can eat until 6:30 that morning. I have probably gained 5 pounds in the last few days trying to eat all I can before Wednesday. BECAUSE... I won't have any teeth back in my head for at least 8 WEEKS!!! It'll be soft foods, and soups for me...no pizza, no hamburgers, no popcorn, no NOTHING I LIKE!!! for 8 weeks... but---- I will have my dentures then and will have a BEAUTIFUL SMILE!! Now that is a day I'm looking forward to!! Straight and white, a movie star grin is what I want! My hubby says they won't look real. My philosophy is they are not going to be real and if I have to go through the trouble of doing all of this, then they will be as close to perfect as they can be!! At least these can be taken out at night when they bother me... whereas the ones I have stuck in my head now can not!! Wish I could! Wish I had all the trouble I'm about to go through behind me , and all the pain. Which leads me to another point... they say there will be not as much pain as I'm expecting... HOW CAN THERE NOT BE???? Guess that is one thing I'll have to post about later.
So as for now, I'll sign off with 31 teeth all permanently secured, where they are supposed to be, in my jawbone, not in a cup by my sink!! Until next post...
