Fun Stuff > CHATTER

Do we have a New Year's Resolutions thread yet?

I can't watch the needle go in unless I'm in one of my very upswing moods where everything is fascinatingly interesting and I'm queen of the world (thankfully for my energy levels and the sanity of everyone around me, those aren't too common so they don't usually coincide with blood donations). But as Kat says, it's just too important to let discomfort put me off.

I do like the warmth of the blood going through the tube which is taped to my arm, though. Once the needle is in I can look at it and I like to watch the collection pouch swinging back and forth and filling up with blood. It's quite a nice colour, nothing like the stuff on TV.

Haha. Reminds me of when my Doc told me she had to "puncture" my sinuses because of an infection. She didn't explain what that implied and just told me to come back in the morning.
I show up the next day and have to face basically being stabbed in the back of the inside of my nose with a giant hollow needle. It made an audible *crack* as it went through. "Hum hum, your septum is unusually thick", she said merrily, "most people don't even feel the needle going through". She then told me she didn't explain the procedure to me the day before lest I wouldn't show up for fear of it.
I like her. Sheīs a nice lady and competent physician.

My dentist puts a little topical anesthetic wherever he will be injecting anything, waits a couple minutes, and then does the injection while wiggling my lip. It still sucked, partially because that syringe was just terrifying, and then it had a giant needle, and I didn't want to be there in the first place. But I haven't gotten any dental work done before, so I don't know how bad it can be.

My dentist did make sure to tell me that most dentists don't do that - he wanted me to stop saying that something hurt. Even though it did and I needed another injection. -_-

OH GOD....now I have to hold my nose in my hands the rest of the day.

My new years resolution is to NOT read things like this...involuntary cringing is not fun....

VonKleist:
Uhh, Iīm sorry. Thatīs how I felt the other day when I was eating and read the things about people's shaving habits :laugh:

Maybe I should have gone for the other doctor-story where someone stole my favourite scarf from the waiting room while I was seeing the doc. An empty waiting room, except for some old folks that had just left. And the staff were just like "meh, itīs gone, some old person took it, move on" and rolling their eyes while I was impotently shaking my fists in anger.
