I have the first of two dental appointments this week in about an hour. I don't forsee any big revelations today—that'll come towards the end of the week when I'm given an estimate of the work and money that will be involved in restoring my mouth. A couple weeks back I read Martin Amis's autobiography, Experience, and haven't been the same since. Amis has the same problems as me, and I'm not sure if reading a preview of what's in store was the best idea. First I burst into tears, then I told my boyfriend he could break up with me and I'd understand. Now I just find myself waking up in a panic, wondering if I too will spend six months looking like the Nutty Professor all the while gagging and salivating profusely. Good times ahead. . . .
Good luck with the torture this week! Hopefully you don't come out of this one being told you have polio, bird flu and more AIDS!
