Needles
Written by Sean on Tuesday, August 30, 2005
I had to go to the doctor this afternoon and for some reason, he couldn’t figure out what was “wrong” with me. So as part of his investigation, he ordered blood work to be done. This involves, obviously, NEEDLES!!! I can’t stand needles… In fact, I have a phobia about them!
I know, a grown man, an intelligent (if I do say so myself) adult, scared witless of needles, seems like a bit of a joke, doesn’t it? Perhaps it comes from the series of vaccines I had to endure as a kid, when we travelled so much to so-called 3 rd world countries.
Admittedly, being stuck didn’t hurt anywhere as bad as I feared it would. Had to do some breathing exercises nonetheless…
But I’m thinking, if I had to get through rehab, after a real SCI, I’d be stuck like a needle cushion! Pricked so many times that I couldn’t hold water. Blerch, the mind boggles, I have no idea how I’d deal with it.
Either it would make be blasé about the whole thing, or I’d just crawl further up the curtain.
Silly… Very silly. :)
