Feb. 3rd, 2006 07:38 amI'm going back to see the oral surgeon this afternoon. There is something wrong back there, I'm sure of it.
Please don't let this turn out like the time I thought my c-section incision had an infection and it was just normal leakage. Or the time I thought my internal sutures had ripped after my appendectomy and it turned out to by completely normal post op pain. I'm completely paranoid that I'm being, um.... paranoid. But there is a flap of skin overlaying my molar and I just know it's not suppose to be there. I bite on it everytime I close my mouth. That can't be normal. I think it must have worked its way loose from the stitches.
I wish I could shake this feeling that I'm completely mistaken and the dr. is going to say "Everything looks fine."
I just thought of two more times I went to the dr. thinking something was very wrong only to find out what I was experiencing was normal. When I was pregnant with Petey I had shooting pains in my abdomen and I thought my c-section scar was threatening to rupture. It was just muscles stretching. Another time, Zack refused to walk for 2 days so I finally took him to the dr. (he was 4). The dr. did x-rays and Zack got up and walked out of the office. I was so embarrassed. He had literally been crawling and dragging himself around on the floor, complaining that he was unable to walk.
Someone reassure me. Tell me I'm not the only one who over-reacts after medical procedures.
