thanks unhappyguy sorry it is being done in hospital, but here they do it as day surgery they only keep you in for 2 hours afterwards and say you must have someone to accompny you home by car or cab and stay with you for 24 hours till the sedative completely wears off. I have arranged hospital transport to get me there and home, on the hopes i can get away with saying my PA is coming to the house to stay with me, but scared i will be found out as i am no good at lying, the pain is due to other problems i have and will be under control once i can take codine again, I am not worried about the procedure as i know i won't feel much, I am quite excited at seing my innerds on the screen! it is more the fact that having gone through the before stuff i do not want it cancelled at the last minute because i am on my own, and the not knowing my reaction to the sedative. I know i never have the injectins at the dentist even when i had root surgery because i react badly to it.
