Kriston-

Good luck with the surgery. My one and only experience with an oral surgeon, I had a blocked salivary gland removed. The doctor and I realized that we had a common interest in the American Civil War (I used to reenact, he was a member of the local CW roundtable) and after he gave me the gas, we sang a duet of Minstrel Boy! I was a bit more umm, relaxed than usual, I can tell you that!
