James and Kirsten

Needles and me will never mix!!
Well...I survived. Thanks to James, I did it. I went in on my own free will and finished my Hepatitus series and tetanus. I reiceved 3 shots in one day! That is a lot for me but I'm so glad it's over. Let me just tell you the funny incident that happened that wasn't so funny at the time. Yesterday James and Iwent to health clinic so I could get some vaccines that I really needed. The minute we walked through the doors of the clinic it hit me! You know..that smell of doctors. It makes me queezy and light headed. James was so good to me and so supporitive. He used to be terrified of needles to so he understands my pain. After what seemed like forever the nurse walked out and called "kirsten preece" I was never so nervous to hear my own name called. I walked the walk of death..or what felt like that. I knew from the minute I saw her that it wasn't going to be good. She was that "butch" nurse that everyone is afraid of. We walked into the patient room and I immediately told her I had to leave and could not get these shots. I think I sak the needles on the counter and it freaked me out. She immediately grabbed my arm and got mad and said "SIT DOWN". It was terrible. I would not stop moving and was trying to leave. Talk about embarrassing. I felt like I had no control. I asked her if Icould take a minute and just calm down and work on breathing normal and she did not like that either. She repeated "SIT DOWN NOW" and told me she couldn't hit a moving target. Now how is that supposed to make me feel better?? Well....it didn't! James kept telling me to calm down and jsut look at him and finally I did. I sat there and let her have her way with me....haha! I know a lot of you will think I'm nuts but I seriously have a phobia of needles. I hate them. They just scare me. EW! But I'm done with that and don't have to go back for about 8 years! WHOOOOO HOOO!!!! :)
