The bone marrow needle is no joke. I have no idea why they even try it without anesthesia.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Backflung, Zenkitty.
I'm not a good judge, because I have a high pain tolerance and, at this point, a high tolerance of medical procedures. I didn't think it hurt that much without the lidocaine, but an hour of someone pressing down as hard as she could on my hip got extremely uncomfortable. Also, I think she broke something in my knee.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Ginger, what the....?!? You have my admiration. I'm feeling sqeamish just from reading about that.

Note to self: Self, if you ever need that procedure done, just go straight for the anesthesia. That is something that will ping every anxiety trigger you have. Fuck that particular noise.

It's mainly dreary and time consuming, although, like combat, occasionally punctuated by moments of terror.
