Not a Single Person to Call…No One Drive Me Home

I didn’t expect this to hit me so hard, but it did. I’m 28, and I just found out I need my wisdom teeth removed. The dental surgeon said I’d need someone to drive me home afterward because of the sedation. I froze. I literally had no one to call.

No parents (my mom passed, my dad’s in the hospital). My sister lives abroad. My friends have drifted away. My ex is long gone. I even texted an old best friend, and she just left me on read.

So there I was, having to tell the dentist I had nobody. Not a single person. They wouldn’t let me do the procedure with sedation, so now I’m facing it completely awake.

It’s such a small thing, but it made me realize how truly alone I am right now.

Have you ever had a “small moment” that suddenly showed you how lonely you are? How would you do in those circumstances?
