I'm so pissed off about this fucking surgery I'm ready to say NO!

Had an orthodontist appointment this morning. Reminds me I need to have my lone wisdom tooth pulled prior to surgery. I know this, have an appointment to have it done in 2 weeks. He asks when I'm planning on surgery, I say October. Okay. September in for molds, x-rays, etc. prior to surgery.

Go to dentist afterwards. Lucked out big time. Tooth that's been a pain in the ass that needs a crown that looked like I was going to need a root canal done along with the crown is holding out. Was able to get out the decay and put in a new filling at no cost and hold off on the crown until after braces. Sweet! On track with that.

Call the surgical people to set this up. Yeah, tell me NOW after a year and a half of waiting because the woman that deals with insurance matter is a fucking moron that I can't have the surgery in October. I need to wait 6 MONTHS AFTER HAVING THE TOOTH PULLED!!! And when was someone going to tell me this? She was like, well, doctor said it needed to come out. Yes, yes he did but when was someone going to tell me how long prior to surgery I needed to have it done. NOW if I opt for the surgery I'm looking at freakin' February. Braces are suppose to come off in March which I don't know will happen now because of this crap. She's trying to make it out like it's my fault and I lost it. Giving me BS that it's the insurance company's fault. Okay, in part, yes, it was, but hello, I saw you people in January, why did you wait until March to submit my paperwork? Why when I called you for updates it was always "I dont' know but I'll get back to you" and you never fucking called me back? Why did you lose a letter my chiropractor sent you three times? She claims she didn't that they're lying. Yeah, they have it in my chart what they did. This woman had to call me back each and every time to get his number because SHE NEVER WROTE IT IN MY CHART?! WHY THE HELL NOT!?!?! "Well, I've been doing this for many years." Guess what hun? RETIRE!!!

This has been nothing but a royal pain in my ass. I finally get myself somewhat prepared mentally to have this done and now this. I'm ready to say Fuck It and got the alternative route. Yeah, it'll only fix my bite and not my jaw but now I'm gonna have to remeet the deductuble and out of pocket bullshit all because of lack of communication.

I called left a message at my orthodontist's office as well about this. Surprise surprise, they didn't call me back. If it wouldn't totally fuck up my mouth worse than it is, I would rip these braces off my teeth myself right about now!
