Raise your hand if you can’t relate Repost after I realized autocorrect butchered the title. I know weird title but I want to be original, lol. If anyone here can say without a second thought, “that’s not me” then you are an incredible and brave person. I wish I could say the same. This morning I woke up with a really bad toothache and it being Friday and all I knew I had little chance of being seen by any dentist today. So I did my best to rehearse what I would say in the most convincing “if I don’t get seen today I will have a long and painful weekend” way I could. I call my dentist and after being on hold for nearly 10 minutes they pick up. I had all that time to think calmly and rehearse why I’d say and.....I failed miserably. I stuttered in every word and on some I stuttered on every syllable. I repeated myself twice before the lady on the other end said they couldn’t see me until Monday. I couldn’t bring myself to explain a good time on Monday and just stutters my way through a thank you but no thank you and hung up. That was hours ago and I have been beating myself up ever since. Tylenol is now my weekend long friend. I think I’ll just leave a message later and setup an early morning appt Monday before work. Fellow stuttering veterans, have any war stories to share?
