Greg #3's experience - added 25th September 2000
A piece of cake!
Its 11:30 am the day after, First of all I will admit I was Extremely nervous yesterday. My appointment was at 2:15 pm yesterday, felt pretty cocky when I got there. The waiting room was full, with each a nurse entered the waiting room to call a paitent's name my nerves got worse. I just kept nudging closer to Carol, without her I probally would have walked out by 3:15. At 3:45 she appeared again and announced my name. Nervously I followed like a cow gowing to slaughter. They left me in the room for about 20 minutes allowing me to stare at the tools of destruction which only added to my nervous condition. When the doc came in I asked him to explain in detail what he was going to do, this helped a lot as I dont like surprises.
My biggest fear "the needle" wasn't bad at all, only felt the first two pricks. I the went in to having an in depth discussion about how Carol and I saved a lot of money buying our furniture in North Carolina. It was a very one sided conversation and when I got to the point of asking him if he ever thought of doing the same I was told "YOUR DONE". Wow, I felt nothing! Went home, iced up, did a perkiset and a glass of rosemount for any pain the might appear but never really did, watched part of the Yankee game wrapped up in Carol's arms and dropped off into never never land. When we awoke this morning we had to test the equipment, not highly advisable but we did anyway. All was in working order what a relief.
All in all it was a cake walk. The doc said it would take 12 shots to clear out so I told Carol it would take 30. The doc said to drop a sample off in 30 days, Carol and I agree we'll have it done in a week.
My advice stop worrying, its not worth it.
