Wussy needs advice please.

Thanks @Zoffiel...I agree totally with your statement that their downright lying and deception does nothing in the building-up-trust department. I generally have an extremely high pain threshold, but it's the needle phobia which has me in a total tizz. I've always had a bit of a thing about injections after a childhood of multiple ear infections with the resultant intramuscular injections of antibiotics (back in the 60's). When giving birth to my three babies, I was more freaked out about the injection given as the first shoulder is delivered (to prevent post partum bleeding) than I was about pushing out the equivalent of a rather large Christmas turkey through an aperture which normally accommodated items far smaller. This I did without so much as a whiff of gas, but much profanity instead. Over the last two years, this relatively mild thingo has now turned into an outright fear. I will refuse to proceed with the surgery if they fail to comply with my demands, (at this stage it's demands, not wishes).
