I was worrying about what would happen if they walked away and something happened that everyone left and I was STUCK under that mask ALL night until morning! My anxiety is terrible. lol. I hear that by the end of the first week, things are starting to get a bit worse. I'm choosing to be optimistic that things will not be as bad as my mind is making them. We shall see. I'm happy, anyway. smile I am on narcotic pain meds so my husband drives me to every appointment anyway.
