Mara, your story about the needle makes me think of all my needle horror stories:
The shot a nurse tried to give me as a child, when her hand slipped and left the syringe dangling from my arm...
When a nurse tried to take a blood sample from me just last year. She jabbed me in one arm, missed the vein, then proceded to tell me how nervous and unconfident she was with drawing blood! They brought in another nurse, she jabbed the other arm, and all was well...
And worst of all, when I was in first grade (and young for my grade and small for my age) I had acute appendicitis. They tried to put the IV in before the operation. I remember lying on a hospital bed in a pool of blood, both arms as riddled with holes as a swiss cheese, and not caring at all. You know a kid is in pain when it lies inert during an attempt by a lot of medical personel to turn them into a colander. They gave up. And put the IV in while I was under.
Is it any wonder I hate needles now?
