Oh the needles, Part II
I know I'm going to regret saying this, but I really wish there was more noise on my floor. It's almost TOO quiet. It might be nice once I start my full work schedule...hopefully...
So, I'm very proud of myself. I had to get a TB skin test today and I watched the whole thing. For those of you who have read my earlier posts, I do NOT like needles, especially those that are puncturing my skin! But, instead of taking the path of the coward, I watched as the nurse shoved a very small needle in my skin and then filled it with fluid. It's actually quite cool looking and watching how it worked made me not pay so much attention to the pain (which is very little since it's a very little needle...but a needle just the same).
Anyways, all this to say that I think I might be taking a step towards not being so freaked out about getting stuck with needles. YAY! I have to go to sleep now. I need all my energy to watch 3 year old Lou tomorrow. He's a bundle of energy...and I LOVE it!!
Goodnight all!!

Lemme go donate two pints and videotape it for ya! :)
Hmm, have you had a TB skin test before or do you need to go in for another one in a week? Marshfield had us do it twice. I didn't look either time (nor for when they took blood).
yes, I've had them a number of times before...at least 4 or 5 times and I usually don't look. I definitely didn't look when they took blood. And it's a one time deal. Pricked and then looked at 48-72 hours later. It's wonderful%

Very nice, Nick, and so very true! I'm glad someone understands me...Woe is me... (I thought a little added drama might make things a bit more interesting :)
