Having to face my absolute worst fear...help!

So, tomorrow is the big day.  My appointment is at 8:30am, I'm the first patient of the day, so I won't have to wait forever in the waiting room which will help as the waiting makes me crazy.  I've been amazingly calm all week, but feeling a bit of anxiety today.  I'm doing it awake, and am feeling good about that, bringing my i-pod to keep distracted and it will only take an hour or so which I can handle.  I will just be so glad when it's over and I'm back home! 

Any kind thoughts, prayers, hugs sent my way today will be greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm all ready to go.  I'm actually feeling pretty good, amazingly I overslept this morning!  I figured I'd wake up at 4am and be totally panicked, but I woke up at 5 am, thought "I'm getting my teeth pulled today" and fell back to sleep!!!!  Never happens to me.  I wanted to get up at 5:30, but slept until 6:30!  I've taken my xanax and have my ipod ready to go.  Hopefully the xanax will kick in just in time and this will be a breeze.  Can't wait to have this over with!!!  I'll try to get back here after the appt. and let everyone know how it went, but don't know how I'll be feeling. 

Send me some good thoughts and prayers please!  And thank you all for your encouragement, I just re-read all the posts again and it really does help make me feel better!

Love to you all!

Junebug,

You are doing so well, my friend! I'm really impressed and proud of you, reading your post from this morning about how you're feeling about your dental work today. That is HUGE, that you were able to go back to sleep after realizing that today's the day.

I think you're in that dentist chair right now, by my clock, so I'm sending out all the good wishes I can. We'll all be eager to hear how it's gone for you today, but post when you feel like it.

Hugs,
percycat

Hope everything has went well :) Keep us posted JuneBug :)
