EMLA = AmazinG!

Let me just say if you ever have to take shots for consecutive days/nights like I am going to, get yourself from EMLA (Lidocain) cream....It's amazing. 

Now I'm not going to say there were no hysterics,  Ryan put the cream on,  covered it with the bandage and we proceeded to eat the dinner my hunny made and watch Duck Dynasty (sorry I'm obsessed I love those rednecks) I kept poking it and thinking "this is not working" and growing sicker by the minute.   I told myself I wanted the shot over by 8pm so we could enjoy our night and not have me freaking out.  7:55pm came and Ryan went to the closet to get the med's to mix and I started hyperventilating.  It wasn't pretty.  He then took the bandage off and I just remember crying  "I don't think it worked" over and over! So my bright idea was to test it,  we first tried the end of a pen and there were a few times he poked where I could feel it and a few I couldn't, so he drew a little circle around the numb area and  I thought I would be okay.  Then we got in the bedroom and I saw the needle.   It's big and I started crying again so we decided to one up and prick it with a safety pin to test it again,  he poked the area a few times and I told him I couldn't feel it.   I got in the position and told him to tell me when he was doing it.   He didn't say anything and so I asked him "Are you doing it yet?",  to which he replied..."I'm done"!!

I DIDN'T FEEL A THING!! 

By the way, I looked at the time when it was over and it was 8:30pm so my hysterics lasted 30 minutes lol.  Ryan lied and said I did awesome and then we went out and watched Survivor together while we both rewarded ourselves with dessert.

I bruise easily so I am a little sore today but since we switch sides nightly I think it will be fine.

One day down only 4 more months to go...
