My dreaded old bridge has broken off at one end leaving a sharp piece to rub against my tongue when I talk. It was inevitable. Bound to happen but I was hoping it wouldn’t happen. My new bridge will be put on next Tuesday. Dr. Nirav said that because the old bridge was put back on that I needed to wait about 10 days to heal up a bit before he can put the new one on.

What I’m panicking over now is the fact that I need to go and have this new bridge put on but damn, I don’t need to be sedated for this but I’m literally petrified to have him in my mouth with me aware of it all. I know it won’t take long but I”m still a bit freaked out over it and I really don’t know what to do.

As it stands right now I have 6 more days to go. Do I call him and have him fix the sharp edge? Or do I grin and bear it? On top of all that I’ve had a stiff neck for the past 4 days. It’s better than the first day but hasn’t improved as the days continue.

I’m really not in a good space right now… I have to go to work tonight and wondering how I’m gonna manage with an eff’d up mouth and a sore neck. Go me.

I know, I know…. this too shall pass.
