The nursing student in me cries to get up from the computer, but the creative monster in me can't stop typing.

Okay, I admit it...

I am an anti-dentite. I hate teeth and I hate all those who like teeth. I hate those who work on teeth and those have perfectly beautiful and white teeth. I think dental hygenists are very nice people with really horrible job preferences. Phase I of my treatment is now complete. I have Pyorrhea, which is inflammation of the gums and when the gums pull away from the teeth. Trust me, it is as lovely as it sounds! I went in for a routine cleaning and they informed me that in order to properly clean my teeth I would have to be needled. Great! They would not work on my mouth unless they could freeze it and do you know why? Because I am a big fat cry baby. I hate going to the dentist so much that my eyes well up and I get really flustered. It is my worst nightmare. My wonderful dentist and his associates (I mean that in all honesty to) broke my treatment into four phases. The first, which was today, was the freezing and cleaning and scaling of the right side (top and bottom) of my mouth. Wednesday, December 21st is Phase II; the cleaning and scaling of the left side. Late January I have to go back and make sure everything is healing alright (Phase III), then I get to make an appointment for phase IV. This is when they will graft a small portion of skin from the roof of my mouth onto the front of my lower gums. This is where the gums pulled away severely from my teeth and my infection started. Don't get me started on the Amoeba's living in my plaque!!

I am so excited about Andria's Christmas present! I received another part of it today. It's a picture that I like of me!! This isn't the picture, but it is close. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful and amazing women. Andria and Meagan I mean!! Kevin isn't a beautiful woman though... but he is still pretty amazing...
