I'm fine with needles, as long as I don't actually look at them while they're being put in or taken out, can look at them while they're in no bother though, just the anticipation I guess.
What really sucks (to diverge slightly to medical stuff in general) is being handed a pack of catheters and some alcohol rubbing gel and told to sterilise your hands thoroughly then catheterise yourself 3-4 times a day every day.

Having had chronic back pain for three or so years now I can safely say I am usually pretty good with pain. Most days it is ok, it just sucks when you are having a it hurts to breathe day.

Oh god. I know exactly what you mean.
Did you ever lose feeling in one of your legs? One time that happened to me while I was working and I was a waitress at the time. It sucked.
well if ya got recurrence problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a cyst ain't one.
My whole family (mom, both brothers) are prone to them too so whatevs, I've had worse.
It was a bad summer for injuries. It was like I finally got my shoulder fixed so a few other things had to break to make up for it. Cysts, and a car accident that gave me TMJ.
And now with football starting, it's gonna be like full body pain 24/7.

My grandmother just had a stroke, apparently.
I may have to miss a few classes this week in order to head up to MA to see her. I sent her partner an e-mail to see if it was appropriate, but I still feel like I should just get on a bus ASAP.

Ok, I'm gonna go, I've decided. She's responsive, but I don't like the sound of "the droopyness in her face is getting better."
If anyone has any poetry or favorite short stories they love and think are appropriate that I can share with her I would be very gratified to hear them.

I went in 09 and the space needle is the only touristy thing I did.
Managed to get a little nausious even though I wasnt activly afraid of falling. Hell the elevator ride seemed more scary than being out on the porch thing.

I've never been scared of needles. When I was a kid I used to watch them with fascination - the way the skin holds for just the briefest of moments, denting under the pressure of the needle before it gives. I used to love watching my blood get drawn, the way I could feel my heart move and watch the vial surge.
I did the toenail operation once, might have to do it again on three more places but fuck.
It was pretty fun, showing up at the clinic, asking "Hey, where's mister doctor?" "Oh, I'm miss doctor, we decided we didn't want to have mister doctor operating on you" Mister doctor is Russian and can't speak the best Finnish but I always trusted that he was competent enough to operate on a fucking toe if they employed him at a clinic.
And then people know the drill, a couple of needles into the toe that hurts like hell and then you're drugged so you don't really feel the pain until a while after.
After about 6 months or so after the stitches were removed my toe was getting in grown again, so I went to see mister doctor who got one of those scissor-forceps looking things and plunged it in my toe and started rooting around while swearing.

I'm kidding here, by the way. I hope that reading some 2000 year old poetry that would be worthy of SE++ cheers your day up a bit, Monroe. You're a good guy, and mad hugs

Problem with my toe things was that I let it go way, way too long before getting it fixed so it was hells of infected and also they had to dig through most of my toe to get it out so afterwards was a couple days of an inordinate amount of pain. I got hydrocodone but it kept wearing off and maan. I'm glad that is the worst I've had health problem wise. Real surgery would probably be a bitch.
My in grown toe nail(s) got me kicked out of the army. Well that, and the insomnia that they couldn't cure with any medicine they could give me and still trust me with handling a gun and a fucked up knee and also the fact that I was and am kind of overweight but I am blaming it on the toe(s).
At least at this moment.

Oh yeah guys
The toenail in the jar is some intense shit.
You can smell it from over three meters away when the lid is off. Funny thing is, there's no actual pus on the nail. I've been informed that it was a fungus caught under the nail, causing the skin to the side to beome inflamed. Technically not an ingrown nail at all, but no less painful. Having a square centimter of skin growing in the path of the nail is not fun. Especially when you kick your toes frenquently on shit because you still don't know how big your feet are :L
So yeah. Toenail with thin white pasty fungus growing on it
smell could knock you out if you put it close enough and sniffed hard
I've tried giving blood several times but occasionally get turned away by a nurse who can't find a vein on me. Usually the ones who have done it for a while won't send me away but I freak the newer nurses out.

I didn't understand any of this post because it wasn't in yards and inches.
Well, the longest needle I ever got impaled upon was pain medication after I effed up my ankle. Yes, it was long, and yes, it went right into the side of my ass, but goddamn was it the most heavenly flip from misery to calm in my entire life.

Intravenous pain medication is the closest thing to magic that we have in this day and age. One moment you wish you honestly wish to be dead because the pain is unbearable.
Then in just a fraction of a second, it's like a unicorn walked into the room and gave you oral sex. Freaking awesome.

Having a needle for a dick must be pretty rough as well.
:^:
I get these things! I got one on my eyelid once, but I twisted it off. Also one on my neck. I have one under my arm, but I've mostly left it alone.

I had this done, but with just the side of the toenail removed. Had to get 6 needles as well.
Problem was, it was done on both big toes. That was pretty painful.
I didn't understand any of this post because it wasn't in yards and inches.
