I don't do well with dentists - one of my true facts was about having punched a dentist once... this dentist - the first time I met him I thought I'd be sensible, walk in and say "Hi, I'm an extremely anxious/phobic patient, I am monosyllabic and will never speak to you, or smile at you. I also have a low pain threshold, will cry and shake" - What I actually did was walk in, start crying and wail "Don't hurt me." Unfortunately this is not an exageration.
Today I had to have a broken filling removed and replaced. He looked in my mouth, then announced (somewhat tentatively to be fair) that he would do it *without* anaesthesia... I let him. I was silent. He did have to hold my mouth open a couple of times but...
Anyway. The hyper panic, can't breath, shaking and silent weeping thing I had going on transfered itself into a migraine. Luckily I had gone to mother's for a cuppa to calm down before driving to work, so I just came home and phoned it in and spent the day in bed.
The zig zags and blind spots have gone, though I've still got the blurry. There is only one knife through my eyeball at the moment, which is an improvement!
I have an appointment at the hair salon tomorrow and have to decide whether to grow my fringe or have it cut in again. It is currently stupidly flicky.
I've been watching Scrubs the last couple of days - season 5 I think - is it just me, or are they being out and out upfront with the Cox/JD pairing? They practically seem an explicit couple. Not that I'm complaining...
Bed again now.
