Needle! Ahhh :P

Until a few weeks ago I was TERRIFIED of needles! Then I went to have the operation, they shoved it in my hand and it's fine, I don't find them scary now really. I could probably go as far as saying I actually liked it...

@Zak; ah you remind me of last year.

Basically, in July 2011 I needed an operation on my teeth to remove the bases of the crowns I had before they broke, I refused to have it under the normal needle at the dentist so required to go to the hospital. On my induction thing the doctor said I had good veins so shouldn't have a problem when the day came round. I got my appointment and went and everything, they called me in and they had ran out of that stuff they put on your hand to numb it so you can't feel the needle going in.

Anyway, they tried, I screamed the place down and my mum was crying in the waiting room, they found no vein so they had to try my other arm, again they found no vein. This continued and after about 7 attempts in different places they had the nerve to say 'should we just give you the needles in the mouth' come on? If I was going to have that done I would have gone to my proper dentist who is actually nice. So I said no and they told me they would have one more attempt at it - luckily that attempt was a success and I had the operation but afterwards I went home and had all pin *****s in my arms where the needles had been. I couldn't even hug my boyfriend I was in so much pain, they took ages to heal up too!

However, when I went to sleep for the operation 2 years previous they used the numbing cream, found the vein straight away and such it just goes to show 9the above operation was just sedation so I wasn't properly asleep).

My HPV jabs hurt though, I could feel it go in each time and touch my bone, it ached for days and I couldn't lift it, same for my Polio jab too!

Well that teaches you to brush your teeth

Regardless of whether that was a joke or not I don't find that funny.
