you might have to be in certain positions but do say you have an anxiety issue and need some help with it. I am sorry you can't have a safe person go with you. Wish I could be there. I think it might help if you tell the little ones that they need to have medicine from a safe doctor and tell them you will protect them. Also, Emily has a good point as I DO the exercises and they help so much. If you can do them outloud during procedure or find something you and doc can discuss. I discussed childbirth with the anesthisologist when I had foot surgery. Kept me calm. I frequently chat about critters with clients who are nervous. Stay present and it will be okay, The doctor is a safe person and you need medicine. Good luck hun.
