Dear Helcat:

Thank you for your empathy and understanding. My tongue is still sore and talking keeps it sore. Good choice on your part to walk out and reschedule following an experience with a dentist whose hands were shaking.

“I wonder if you could bring music or something to distract you for your next appointment? Or were you doing something like that already?“- they do have music playing, and usually, the window is open and you can watch squirrels running around, but this time, with cloth in my mouth for too long.. I wasn’t even aware of the music.

“I hope that the next one goes more smoothly!“- I received a prescription for valium to take before the next appointment, but I am scared nonetheless.

“It is so kind of you to write to people when you have a busy life. ❤️”- ❤️back to you!

“Thank you for your kind wishes! Agreed, calm is so much better than the alternative“- you are welcome and indeed calm is better.

“Today, I found a lost dog and returned it to it’s owner. It made me think of my missing cat. A hopeful part of me thinks that it is good karma. Perhaps she will return? I don’t know. Wishful thinking maybe. I can dream“- I wish she returns to you.. that would be wonderful! And you did a wonderful thing for another pet’s owner, thank you!
