Surgical Wisdom...Tooth

So today is the dreaded Tuesday.  I have to have surgery on my mouth to try to get a very difficult wisdom tooth out. 

I know what most of you are probably thinking..."It's just a wisdom tooh, it'll be fine. Everybody gets them pulled."  This is the thing though; I have always been deathly afraid of medical treatments that are even somewhat invasive.  This may not make since to some of you as you know I'm fascinated by medicine and the medical field.  Seeing the procedures done on other people (or animals) is no problem for me.  It's when I know they will be doing those things to me. 

I know, you may think I'm being a complete wimp.  Call it what you will.  But this is something that is so overpowering that I'm afraid to even have children because of this fear.  IV's, anesesthia, incisions, cutting open my gum to pull a tooth out with the possiblitly of removing some jaw bone - yup, all things that scare me (and more).

So as I try to not freak out before my appointment I would greatly appreciate prayer today.  I know that the outcome will be fine and it's a typical procedure but I need to keep my nerves at bay.
