I'm fully into that most anxious and annoying of pre-op stages, paranoia. Here we are just coming out of cold season, and I flinch every time I hear someone coughing that rattley, "I've-had-this-cold-for-a-month" sort of cough. I had a day (that I'm now convinced is to be blamed on early spring blooms) where I was quite stuffed up with a scratchy throat and all I could do was obsess over it and whether I was allowed to take Cold-FX in my crucial 2 week pre-op period.
The worst part is that I've done something to my teeth -
