Adrenaline free

Today's dentist was so kind and patient and gentle. She also suggested we try an adrenaline-free anaesthetic, pointing out that if I was already anxious, adding adrenaline to make my heart beat even faster might not be helping. I suspect she was right cos I felt much better, tho that could be down to any of the helpful factors. I had my girly on hand; a friend had sent me a meditation; other friends sent love. I concentrated on trying to recall song lyrics. And it was ok. I'm still not looking forward to the crown. But I'm proud of taking my self care seriously. And recommend it :-)
