Gas in the waiting room YES , yes Please . Valium would be good too.How about both .....
I am considering having my husband come along just so I don't bolt .
Seriously I have been sitting here thinking this morning why I am so paranoid about Dentists . I actually had a thought that made sense ...imagine that ..lol .
When I was a child my mom was a witness my dad was in the military . Our medical treatments were all at Naval hospitals you never saw the same doctor twice just whoever was there . I had alot of times were nurses had to actually sit on me to give me shots ect. Several had to hold me down to get stitches . So those left some pretty negative impressions . Then when my dad went back into civilian life we moved close to his parents (who disliked the fact my mom was a commie witness ,in my grandfathers words )
My mom would warn me all the time that when the Great Tribulation started my grandfather would no doubt take us kids from her, and we would need to stay loyal to Jehovah on our own .....I was five or six at this time . I had great separation anxiety at that age (I wonder why )
At this same time I was preparing to start school so had the customary Doctor/Dentist visits . The Dentist we went to had huge hands a scary bushy beard and loomed over my small mouth . Of course I was scared and cried ...he had no patience for this so made threats he would make my mom leave if I didn't stop crying . I don't remember what else he said other than it was threatening and all I could think of was someone was taking my MOM away . Now I realize it was worse than it should have been because no doubt I was thinking about her earlier warnings of being taken away .
Isn't that screwed up ? I had not really put all that together before now . No wonder I never let her out of my sight when I was little .
