Where Can I Hide?

Well, tomorrow morning bright and early, I have to be at the local hospital to have my nose sorted out... I've had what I thought was a mole on there for the last, er... blimey, since I was at school, so 14 years? More? Anyways, turns out the bugger is a cyst, and tomorrow it's coming off.

But I am dreading it. Every single moment leading up to tomorrow is filled with fear.

I am a big fat coward, I admit that. It takes a lot to make me squeamish, and I only have a couple of phobies. Needles being stuck in me is one, and I discovered that having bits of me cut off before my very eyes is another. This cyst is on my nose in my field of view of my left eye. Local anaesthetic, which means lots of needles into the nose before my very eyes. And then there's the whole choppity chop chop.

I just got off the phone with the nurse, and she has said if I get really nervous, then I can have a sedative to induce amnesia. Great. Also, Jo isn't allowed in there with me at all, so I have to spend my day on a ward that will likely be filled with old people that stink of pee and crazy oldies.

Added to this, I am going to need supervision for 24 hours once I am home as I will "likely get sick" which is ever so comforting. I get knackered all this week, stressed out for Friday, spend the weekend ill - and then start school runs on Monday all over again. What do I need to do to get a break?!
