Well I managed to go the first 34 years of my life avoiding I.V.'s and anesthesia, until today! Went in for an Endoscopy (they took a look-see at my stomach with a camera) this morning. I was fed lines of "easy chairs" and "little pills to make you go night-night" the whole time, until I got to the hospital to find that was all bull. I guess this was because everyone knew I wouldn't go if they said needles and hospital beds! With the exception of a very sore throat and a sore arm I am doing fine now, I THINK all the medicine has wore off! They "blew out" the first I.V., I didn't know what that meant and I didn't want to know. All I know is that there was something trickling down my arm which I imagined to be blood and almost passed out. Yes, I am a big baby! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Good and bad Pho, but it isn't anything that I already didn't know.

IV's are the worst part of going to the hospital. Valium is the best part of going to the hospital.
I had an ambulance attendant to blow 4 viens on the way to the hospital. He finally gave up and said "We'll just wait and let them do it at the hospital. Sheesh.

Awww poor Baz, and look at this, you even lived through it. *smile* Hope whatever they took pics of is all the way it's supposed to be so you don't have to do it again.
