After Christmas I went to the dentist and was told that one of my wisdom teeth needed removing. She said that there was two options for taking them out (at the hospital). She said that option 1 was to be awake when they do it or option 2 was to be sedated, which she explained was that I would be asleep and know nothing about it until I woke up. I told her about my emetophobia and panic attacks and she suggested sedation would be best and is preferred by the dentist/doctors anyway as it makes it easier for them to get to the tooth.

Strangely, I was actually looking forward to it. That was until I got a phone call from the clinic that is going to be doing to procedure. The lady on the phone said that I could either have a General or be sedated. I said sedation and she told me that I would still be awake when they do it but I will feel very drunk and drowsy. She also said that the effects could last all day and that I'm not allowed to eat anything for four hours prior to procedure.

I am now shitting myself! I really don't want to be awake when they do it or aware of them fiddling in my mouth. At the same time I don't want general anesthetic in case it makes me feel sick when I wake up! WHAT DO I DO! THE APPOINTMENT IS NEXT SATURDAY MORNING!!!
