kidney stones, again...



at least it wasn't me this time.  i felt so bad for poor gaby as i stayed with her in the hospital all day.  i almost fainted when the iv was given so i decided to face my fears and photograph it. gaby also made a rule that i couldn't really photograph her.  fair enough.

ha ha ha yeah and I think it was a good rule! no one should see my face after that ordeal, I was a mess. But I really love this photo.... Is that sick?

Remember how you did really almost pass out and had to go sit down and put your head between your legs???

well? what did you expect? the doctor was letting you bleed all over the place. i might pass out just thinking about it.

yeah I am pretty sure that wasn't a doctor.. and more like a nurse in training.... I have never had an IV be so messy.

and you should know, you've had a lot of them. i'm glad that i just couldn't take it. it was definitely a buster panic attack. "ok, obviously the blue part is the land" (whilst hyperventilating).

oh brenda, yesterday my friend was in the er and we went back to visit him, the further we wound through into the depths of the hospital, the whiter my face got and by the time we got to his room and i saw the iv, my knees were giving out. poor gaby. poor brenda.
