Tomorrow is my big day! Scared! :(

Whoa, those x-rays are fascinating. Thanks so much for posting! I think it's cool that you're getting this done for yourself. Just a few days away! Make sure you have lots of lip balm and cold drinks on hand! Here's a good list of supplies you'll want before the big day.
