I don't think he believes me when I tell him they don't scare me... <br /><br />Hope you're having a great day, too! :)Laurie Grassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297964722383351333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-19888424345085866672010-02-25T16:56:13.076-05:002010-02-25T16:56:13.076-05:00I like being able to see, too, Helen!

In my case, no matter how much I trust my nurses and doctors, I always feel I need to be able to see everything they're doing to me. I was even prepared to watch my ICD implant surgery, until - surprise! - the sedative put me to sleep. :)<br /><br />I hope you get to take a break from the dentist/doctor for a while now. You certainly deserve it.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842890893365738906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-61560913001498991242010-02-22T08:22:20.621-05:002010-02-22T08:22:20.621-05:00Laurie, there is nothing wrong with you, I think t...Laurie, there is nothing wrong with you, I think that is normal for most people. I, on the other hand, tend to get queasy at the sight of someone else's blood. I have been hurt so many times, I am more comfortable with seeing my own. <br />I don't like going to the dentist, it's one of those necessary evil's. The stress from being in the chair at the dentist for 4 hours would wear me out to.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575686459496908135noreply@blogger.com
