T-3: Getting all Pretty

3 days, oh boy!

I can't describe the mix of emotions I am feeling except to say just about every definition of anxiety covers it.  I am anxious to get this over with and move on with my life.  I am nervous about the recovery and the difficulties I will have over the next 6 months.  I am frustrated at the lack of control I will have in the next 2 weeks. I am excited to have an improved jaw/mouth and leave much of my chronic pain nothing but a distant memory.  I am exhausted, as the worrying is actually waking me up in the middle of the night and doesn't let me go back to sleep. Finally I am still hopeful that many of the blogs I have read exaggerated the difficulty of recovery and I will skate through this like its nothing.

But tonight, I get an amazing date night with my fabulous husband.  We received (incredible!) tickets to a musical for tonight as a Christmas present. So I am getting all dressed up and feeling as pretty as possible, for what will probably be the last time in awhile... and I am hoping that my husband can hold on to that image when he's taking care of the drooling, sloppy mess I'm about to become.
