Oh Mariole, this one hurt. When I read this: Sam’s screams went straight to his heart. Beside them, Marigold was sobbing. I remembered when my daughter was in the hospital for several days as a toddler. She had an IV and at one point when they had to redo it, they were having a terrible time finding a vein. She just screamed and screamed. I finally had to leave the room or I was going to faint. I sat on the floor in the hallway and just cried. I never regretted anything so much in my life than that I wasn't able to stay in that room with her. I only thank god that she was young enough that she has no memory of that whole time.

Seeing someone you love so deeply suffer is terrible to bear.

But I want you to know I still enjoyed the chapter! Poor Frodo jumped every time the Doc said his name!

Oh, what a dreadful story! That sounds hideous! I'm sorry to bring up such painful memories. Here's a flock of hugs.

Yes it was hideous, but it was also many years ago.

I admire people who would have the courage to stay through something like that, but even if the courage is not there, that does not make the love any less. Frodo had both, and Sam will later show he does as well.

Thank you for the hugs.

Oh, man! I nearly yelped right along with Sam. *shudder* I know that has to hurt.

And that silly, silly Daisy! :D

Yes, I've decided she and May are my comic relief. Poor everyone else!

Ouch! That was painful! Poor Sam, and poor Gaffer, too: it's hard to see someone you love suffer...:(
The last sentence made me laugh, though; of course Sam is a brave Hobbit, and for a lot of reasons.:)

He is, and being the only boy at home is certainly giving him some extra toughness! Cheers.

I held my breath throughout the procedure! Oh my word, that sounded painful. *cringes* Thank goodness Sam doesn't have that horrible pain anymore.

I love this fic liek whoa. :-)

I simply could not end the chapter on such a painful note. There's nothing like giggling sisters to break the mood. Thank you so much for your kind remarks. Cheers!
