So as I approach my surgery date I'm writing all my pros and cons... I know that it's a mind over matter when it comes to getting your IV [emoji736] done yet, I'm a Superbad stick. I think once that's done it a green light to get this new journey started. Anyone a bad stick for IV's. I'm hoping they can numb the site first verses being stuck 7 times to get it in!

I'm a bad stick as well. Nothing grosses me out more than the feeling of someone moving a needle under my skin trying to hit the vein. Maybe ask them to use a butterfly on your hand. This always works best for me.

They numbed my hand before inserting the IV.

Im a bad stick too. Sometime they have to stick me twice in both arms before they find one. I always ask tonuse the butterfly and tey to remember where they got it the last time.

Ugh. I really hate needles and have never had an IV before. I'm not looking forward to it.

I hope its quick and painless like mine. That anesthesiologists was so professional. It's something no one look forward to.

The pre-op nurse did it. It hurt, but I lived ?. The weird part is the vein under the stick point still hurts a week on. Pumping fluids through must be hard on the vein.
