“You will get use to it”

Really?  I will get use to a sharp object being pushed through my skin and into my veins?  Well it has been over five months since my kidneys decided to pack it in and I don’t feel any closer to embracing needles as part of my every day life.

I received some advice the other day.  I was told that I will get over my fear of needles once I experience something that is worse.  Once I have the worse experience I can think about it whenever I am about to have another needle shoved in my arm and then it won’t seem so bad in comparison.

Recently I have had a couple of surgeries and lots of invasive tests but so far nothing can over shadow my fear of the pointy one.

I like the theory….I now just need something even more terrifying to happen to me….
