I had trouble articulating because I was so upset that night.

Bottom line was, I was afraid my uncle did not want to see me because I was "mental" and "needy" because I had told him in my last email that I was having problems. But I did not share a lot with him; just one sentence about my root canal and tooth extraction.

But, still, I was afraid he was turned off by hearing about my problems and deciding not to come down.
