OUCH.

So I had my first steroid epidural shot yesterday. My new least favorite phrase EVER: "I have to STIMULATE THE PAIN so I can tell exactly where to inject the medicine."

OW.

Let me repeat that.

OW OW OW OW OW.

And they wouldn't even let Scott come in to hold my hand.

It wasn't so bad at first - they stuck the needle in and it pinched, big deal. It was when he was wiggling that needle around to STIMULATE THE PAIN that I broke into tears. I literally whimpered. Like a damned dog, I whimpered.

They took xrays while he was wiggling the damned needle around to make sure he had the right spot, which was why Scott couldn't be in there, but goddamnit, he WILL be with me when I get my next one. There's no way I'm lying on a table with my ass hanging out in front of three people, whimpering and blubbering WITHOUT SOMEONE HOLDING MY HAND.

HE WILL HOLD MY HAND NEXT TIME.

I don't care if the xrays make him sterile. I don't want any more kids anyway.

Fuckers. God, that hurt.
