dear Lori,
Yes, as you correctly understand, I am most anxious at this point to just have this experience over so I can begin the process of healing etc. However, very early Friday morning, the dentist office manager called me to tell me that the doctor would not be in his office on Wednesday June 19th for my appointment that was scheduled 48 hours after the extraction. I was given the choice of rescheduling the apt for Thursday June 20th. I was finally able to get them to agree to seeing me on Tuesday June 18th, the day after the extraction and then if I need to return, that I can return on Thursday. It did not make sense to wait until Thursday to see the dentist. I was given a 3 pm apt on Tuesday, and then later today I received a text that said I had an 11am apt on Tuesday. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that things are hectic after the doctor returning from Italy, but I have to admit it is unnerving. Do you agree that it was important to make the first apt after the extraction earlier rather than wait until Thursday ? Especially since the office was going to be closed on Wednesday ! She did promise me that I could return on Thursday and or Friday also. But we shall see. Thank you for being there for me to review this latest situation.
I'm loving your hugs, and I'm trying to remember to breathe.
God Bless you !
Holly

Hi Holly, it’s a great idea to take the earlier appointment the day after your extractions. I think this will go a long way in easing your anxiety by not having to wait 3 days before you have a followup. Plus, as the office manager mentioned, you can make repeat trips during the week should you need them.
If you received a text for your appointment for 11:00 Tuesday, I’d go with that one since it has to be in the data base/appointment log for that time in order for you to get the automatic text. Hang onto the text for confirmation. Though, you’ll most likely get another the day before your appointment as well.
Hehe. I’m glad you’re remembering to breathe and exhale! Oh, that reminds me of one of my favorite ways to recenter my thoughts if they start running amok… picture a little box. Then inhale slowly 4 seconds while you imagine your finger drawing up one side…draw across the top while holding your breath 4 seconds. The exhale down the other side of the box and hold again for 4 seconds while you draw across the bottom. Then repeat! Give it a try!🤗
