HELP!

I am having oral surgery today.
It will be in office, without good drugs. Novacaine only, and I am driving myself.
To say that I'm scared only touches the surface. I would rather give birth than go to the dentist. I have had too many bad experiences.
My daughter told me to "just not think about it",

words of wisdom from a child who loves her dentist (whose name is ironically Dr. Slaughter!) (THE DENTIST! Not the child!)

When I was a kid, my sister swore that the doddering old fool who pretended to be our dentist once looked in her ear and said, "OOH,
that doesn't look good!". I remember that he smelled, and gave novacaine as an after thought. All the fillings he put in have long since been either root canalled, pulled, or root cannalled unsuccessfully and then pulled.
I'm scared!
So, if you're reading this before 2:30 (tooth:hurty!) CST.(appointment is @ 1:30 EST.), please hold a good thought in your head for me, as I will be in pain and tears and the pulling of teeth!
