The Dreaded Dentist. Yikes !

I've to go to the dentist today for a small filling. Unfortunately, I think I'll probably have to get a needle. Yikes ! Well, I'm not scared of anything except needles. For some reason I'm terrified of them. I can't even look at one on the T.V. ! Maybe I have trypanophobia (fear of injections/needles) as I nearly had a panic attack 2 weeks ago when the dentist took one out to give me a small filling. I literally started shaking, sweating, sobbing, I couldn't breathe right...

I don't have panic attacks so I don't know what they're like but I think I nearly had one then. Ever since then I've been terrified of going back to the dentist as I will probably have to get another needle.

The last time my gum swelled up and most of my mouth went dead. Although, my gum was REALLY REALLY sore ! I was told not to talk much which is actually impossible for me. I didn't eat anything beforehand as it was an early appointment and I can hardly ever stop eating, yet I'm really skinny. Weird, huh ?
Anyway, I was left starving for most of the day. I didn't get the feeling back in my mouth until late in the afternoon and I went to the dentist that morning !
I might be going to the cinema with my friends this evening so I hope the feeling will be back in my mouth enough for me to eat a bit of popcorn. LOL !

Basically I'm not looking forward to going to the dentist today and I'm worried I'll actually have a panic attack or something this time. I'm actually shaking by just thinking about it right now. I hope it's not as bad this time...

Wish me luck. I'll probably need it.

Fly on forever !
