Shoot Me
Part of our Homestudy History is a full medical exam work-up deal. So, I made our appointments and we’ll be examined by Dr. T next week. No big deal, right? Except for the part that I hate. The part with the needles. Our exams require a TB test and a cholesterol screening. I’ve never had either of those. Mostly because I hate hate HATE needles. Hate. I can barely talk myself into a finger prick once a year. And lets not even discuss how long it takes to get me to be okay with a novicane shot.
What I need to keep in mind is how many more needles I would have to endure if I were pregnant. My preggo friends have been giving enough viles of blood to feed a vampire colony. And come birthing time, they’ll be stuck in a hospital bed with an IV in their hand and an epidural in their back. So, it could be worse, right?
But thats not very comforting. I’m still scared of needles.
