The dentist called me today and gave me his home phone number for over the weekend Which was very nice and reassuring, but I'd rather not be in the position of needing the dentist's home phone number

The swelling has been going down gradually today. I get tired really easily, but I feel like I'm heading in the right direction. I still look quite scary, but it's an improvement.

And to bring this back to therapy (), I had such an urge to call T today before he left town for the weekend, to ask for a message or something. Just some contact. But I realized that I didn't really *need* to, and I managed to wait it out and not call. There have been times in therapy when that would have been denying my needs and NOT a good thing...but today, it felt like it was a positive step. I didn't really *need* T, and I knew he was busy trying to get out of town, and we just talked last night. I was able to get through it on my own

I see him Tuesday and Thursday next week. I can't wait. Although, I think because I don't feel well, the thought of "therapy" is AWFUL to me right now. I'd like to just go and sleep in T's office. Maybe I'll be over that by my appointment time
