I'll be glad when it's over and you feel better. I think its just the bad connotation with needles working you all up. There is sure a difference in lab tech though. Hopefully you got a good one today and can request that person again next time! Chin up, Girl! Hey! I’ll be glad when it’s over and you feel better.

I hope that all goes well, that they are able to get a vein on the first try... I know that this will make you feel so much better! Hugs, sis! I’m thinking of you today, Heather!

What surgery did you have? I have been sick so I probably have missed alot of things...I'm glad you made it out and doing well...Thinking of you as well...

Trust me, I know what you mean. After a few times of them poking and prodding and not finding a vein, you get anxious. I was totally shaking like a leaf before my surgery on Friday -- it was crazy how freaked out I was -- and to be honest, the needles did hurt -- BUT -- I made it through and will be better for the experience -- just like you. It will be a bit of pain and discomfort now (a high price to pay, I understand), but soon enough, you'll begin to feel the benefits of the vitamins and the bad experience will be behind you. I'll be praying for you tomorrow, okay? Sorry if this doesn't make sense (percocet!) but just know that I'm thinking about you. Don’t beat yourself up about getting freaked out over needles!
