MICHELLE ~ I am sorry for that, sweetie ... I was wondering about that and had sent up some extra prayers for you too. I was trying to imagine in my mind what exactly you would have to go through. Well, it's all over now; and you are a survivor kiddo! We sometimes surprise ourselves just how tuff we actually are ...
Sometimes, life throws us these kind of curves -- I had to have a test on my leg once that was so painful I wanted to scream (and I certainly let them know what I thought of it); and I told my DH that if they ever ask me to do that again I will walk right out of there, but not before I tell them what I think of some of their barbaric tests ... oops, sorry -- a bit of a rant there.
Hey, I lived through it; got over it, but will remember it enuff to know better next time.
Some things we can change, Michelle; some things we can't. May GOD give us the wisdom to know the difference. When something like that happens, I always ask them if there is not anything they can do to lesson the pain of that procedure in the future. The lady apologized profusely and really tried her best ... BUT turns out, they now have a test that is even better than that one, and it isn't painful at all. So sometimes, protesting can encourage positive change ...
