Anticipation of Pain
Thinking of the chair.
You know which one I'm talking about. The one that I hadn't seen in 10 years.
Finally sat back down in it and found I was going to go through a world of hurt...
...in stages.
-"Ok today we will only do this much, then next time we will do this, and by that time we will have those removed, and then we will go through a simple procedure that takes two visits called ROOT PLANING!! "
+"Oh that sounds like so much fun. Is this line here where I sign up??? "
-"Yes, that is where you authori-- sign up. Thank you."
Day before:
-on the phone "This is just a confirmation call that you will be stuck in our chair with your mouth open and we will be using sharp iron-age instruments on your teeth. And a high powered drill. Do you confirm that you will be there? if not we will charge you instead of your insurance."
+"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. With much joy and excitement!"
*This is a rant over the anticipation of the coming visit to the dentist's chair.
