The worst and most uncomfortable part was not eating anything for 4 hours before procedure.
When I got there I had to fill out a form about medical history and in a box at the bottom I put 'panic attacks, emetophobia'
The receptionist took me off to check my weight and height, then I had an x ray done
In the room, there was the surgeon, anaesthetist and two nurses. The surgeon answered all of my questions and said that the drug will not give nausea side effects.
The Doctor wiped m arm and put the needle in. I'm okay with needles but I honestly didn't feel a thing.
After that I asked him how long it took for the drug to start kicking in. He said about 10 seconds. As he said this, my vision became slow.
The dentist started lowering the chair and they put a blue net over my face. He said that he was going to give me a shot of cocaine to numb the pain after the other drug kicked in but I didn't feel anything. For what felt like 3 minutes the surgeon was tugging my mouth. It felt like he was going to tear it. But no panic.
Then he said he was going to use some Vaseline to stop my mouth from cracking further.
I could hear what they were saying and felt a lot of tugging but I couldn't see anything or feel anything. V* never even crossed my mind.
Next thing I knew he said that we were all done. The Doctor took the drug out of my arm and I was given my glasses back. I didn't notice the effects until I stood up. I was wobbling all over the place.
The recovery nurse said to my mum that I should eat as soon As I get home but only eat soft things.
When we were walking to the car my mum said that she had been waiting for me to come out of surgery for at least half an hour. It only seemed like 3 minutes.
I'm now at home eating a bowl of wheatabix and about to take two paracetamols
