Chinese Torture

I have had two C-Sections, EIGHT amniocentesis', my wisdom teeth extracted, my foot broken, my back thrown out and a stapler rip through two of my fingers.

All of those things combined were more pleasant than holding my daughter down as the poor woman at the lab tried to draw her blood.

To the lay person in the waiting room, I am sure it sounded like we were practicing torture methods on Lauren. She was dripping sweat, screaming like a lunatic, kicking, crying and just freaking out.

Once they got the needle in her arm, it was over in less than thirty seconds. That was fun.

The Dr. assures me Monday PRE-OP won't be as bad, since Lauren will receive NO needles until she is under anesthesia.

"We just have to spray some Versed in her nose as soon as she gets here." She assures me.

Yeah, good luck with that, let me know how that works out for you.

Damn. I am NOT looking forward to this.
