left handed needlephobe here. My beloved exdh had to lie full on me to get our pre-wedding blood test. Absolutely horrible.
I've learned to cope...just barely.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know a couple who got legally married in NY, even though their wedding ceremony, reception, etc., were in MA, mostly to avoid the blood test. (Also for insurance purposes, but the blood test was a significant factor.)

You know, I think msbelle might actually be the nicest. She just called me from a grocery store with a popcorn kernel sighting!

Heh.
I should never check my email from home. Giant clusterfuck at work that a team (NOT MINE) missed and it means a shitload of work. Because they didn't check carefully before giving us the go ahead.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
You had doubted I was the nicest?
I do have kernal popcorn. Also? It started raining while we were in the grocery. Curses!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Now there's a Tornado Watch here in NYC!!

It moved north from here.
t fuming It took them 4 weeks- FOUR WEEKS!- to notice they were missing something they consider critical. After 5 rounds of test sets that they were supposed to vet to make sure nothing was missing. Goddamnit.

I was about to leave the house when it started pouring rain. I took it as a sign to stay in.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUMI!!!!!!
Poor mac and msbelle! I have a vague memory of literally climbing the furniture in the examining room in an effort to escape the doctor, screaming bloody murder the whole time. Neither my mother nor the doctor were amused.
I think you talking him through it, again will help. Maybe you can give him like a code word or signal or something that he can use to remind himself to breath and think happy thoughts.
