Laughing Gas

Someone’s calling me; it’s probably over, the doctor’s finished the biopsy and he’s ready to explain how I’ll take care of my tongue.

Tom’s probably standing behind me looking at the specimen and waiting to take me home.

“We need you to wake up so we can put the dam in your mouth,” the assistant gently tapped my arm.

“It’s not over,” I said as if my voice was in a distance.

“We’re just beginning, you fell asleep on us,” the surgeon said.

I’m not laughing?

Comment by Stephen Torelli on July 14, 2012 at 10:29am: We wish you the best.

Comment by Jeanette Cheezum on July 13, 2012 at 5:42pm: Thanks, Joey. Iwill know for sure when I go back to see the doctor, but no cancer was all i needed to hear.

@Bolton, thanks for the inspiration.

Comment by Joey Delgado on July 13, 2012 at 5:38pm: Nothing scarier than a biopsy. I hope all is well.

Comment by bolton carley on July 13, 2012 at 5:00pm: jeanette - i bet you weren't laughing about any of this. had my fair share of dentistry woes, know the feeling of being far away from the people 2 inches from your mouth.

just hoping all is well and continues to be so! gotta have my witty friend to entertain me! :)

Comment by Jeanette Cheezum on July 13, 2012 at 3:12pm: Thanks, Jamie. I wasn't sure if this was appropriate to write about.

Comment by Jamie Hogan on July 13, 2012 at 2:49pm: Outstanding writing about an unsettling situation Jeanette. Glad to hear the dx is reassuring. Really like the "probably" and the question to close it out. Like Bill said, it's hard to write about being under, and this is dead on.

Comment by Jeanette Cheezum on July 13, 2012 at 2:42pm: Thanks, Bill. I'm glad you had a good dx also.

Comment by Jeanette Cheezum on July 13, 2012 at 11:31am: Gita, I'll have to take your advice.

@ Ed I know, and I had Tom there to drive me home. When I did take the meds I had a reaction to them.

I'd never make a good junky.

Comment by Bill Floyd on July 13, 2012 at 11:28am: Mine did not come back. I was a smokeless tobacco user at the time mine popped up, so it was extra-frightening, but my dumb ass still didn't quit using tobacco for another few years. I'm not a doctor, but I do think these things are more common than they used to be, and as long as the diagnosis is benign, you'll probably be fine!
