so im ok with the concept of a IV. its a bag with medicines of some sort of it in it. what im not ok with is that for some reason they feel they need to insert these medicines right into your vein. even better right into the soft inside of your elbow. today i had such an iv. after he fumbled around with poking the needle in there for some time and with much wiggling I restated i didn’t much care of needles and was liking it less and less. his reply was oh don’t worry no more needle in there. ive replaced it with a flexible piece of plastic tubing... now what sounds smaller? a needle? or flexible piece of plastic tubing?
luckily for him they had me strapped down to the chair and he pumped me full of drugs and off into lala land before i could kick his ass.
so teeth out with the addition of lots of confusing moments afterward.
favorites include:
trying to pretend to be awake in the recovery room so i could leave.
waking up to nic wanting to take big bloody things out of my mouth for no apparent reason
waking up to nic making me want to drink something for her (if she was thirsty she could have probably drank it herself...she was already awake afterall)
waking up tangled in the blanket
waking up realizing the dentist must have kept my clothes
so out of 3 IV experiences in recent memory i can honestly say 0 of those 3 have been at all enjoyable. i wonder if lj has some sort of IV fetish community. probably.
