Welp. Two Ativan and a shit-ton of novacaine later and the first of my dental treatments are complete. Stressed to high hell, anxious beyond belief (even despite the meds), but the phobia's been faced and f*ck it, I'm still standing. Now just waiting for the freezing to wear off so I stop slurring like Captain America would if he got punched one too many times in the face. 🤦‍♀️ F*ck me, I think I need a nap.
