if the sky comes falling down...

...  for you, there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do.

I was touched by the many supportive responses that I got to my status on facebook admitting my terror at the dentist and asking for people's tips of how to face such a terror. There have been a whole raft of suggestions that I might try. I was especially struck by those that said to concentrate on your toes as they are far from your mouth. Others suggest music, drugs, breathing, meditation, more drugs. Lots sent love, and one friend has offered - and sounds like she really means it - to come and physically hold my hand throughout. I feel very lucky to have so many people who care about me, who didn't in any way belittle my feelings despite my feeling a bit ashamed at such an extreme reaction when I know other people face much worse things.

This evening I have so many separate places over my body that are causing small amounts of pain for one reason or another, I can't quite think straight. So I'm just going to focus on how grateful I feel to have people who care for me. Hope you are able to notice all you are grateful for too.
