I had to go get a steroid injection at the doctor today. I made the mistake of not eating breakfast first so I did not feel good afterwards. I was just sitting there when the doctor looked over and goes “Are you ok?” And I almost threw up. I had to lie down. Ick. They had to get me a Sprite and I broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention that the shot hurts a lot, not the shot but the steroid itself burns. Lol, never having had a shot before except for dental work (I’m not vaccinated- and gasp, still alive!) I was expecting some huge needle and Mercy was freaking out big time and I didn’t even feel it.
The little old lady nurse there makes me laugh. She has a very soothing Hispanic accent and she got ready to give me the shot and smiles at me reassuringly and said “You don’t want to watch this. Just watch the TV.” I love her and will at least miss her when I switch doctors. Oh well.
BTW, it totally helps with nerves and when it hurts to read a funny book. I read the Trolls.
