GRRRRRRR!

So, today I had my pre-op check with the dentist. This is important as it meant that I met the person who would actually be doing the procedure. It was supposed to be last Thursday, but with the actual op being cancelled it was changed to today.

At least that’s what I was told.

Looked up the place on google maps and got up early today to start walking. It took about an hour but I finally made it there. Went in and was told where to go to be seen.

The person was slightly surprised that I was there. Eventually, they decided to see me, despite the fact that the appointment that was cancelled was the one for today.

GRRRRR!

They had another look in my mouth, told me what to expect and what was needed of me. I had already arranged for a friend to meet me afterwards but it turns out they have to arrive with me. They also have to look after me for 24 hours. Which, again, I was not expecting.

I have been told not to eat the day of the operation and that I’m not to smoke for 4 days afterwards. Which means I’ll be a bit of a nightmare. But it should keep my mum happy.

I’ve also been told that I have to take out my tongue and eyebrow piercing as part of the process could cause these to spark. I did ask about using a plastic retainer for my tongue and been told that that should be fine but may not be necessary. Due to the length of time I’ve had the tongue piercing (10 years next summer) it would take weeks for the hole to close.

So, yeah, that was my morning. This afternoon I have to go to the jobcentre for an interview. Yay! Fun day all round for me!

Meanwhile, have a pic. More fantastic spelling from the THE University of the Year 2009:

Rescheduling and cancelling appointments are aggravating! Hope all goes well. That would be embarrassing for the staff not to have proper spelling skills in uni LOL?
