BITING THE BULLET

Today, I faced my long standing fear and stumbled through it. Note that I didn’t say I conquered or overcame my fears, just that I faced it, alone. I didn’t call for back up support (because I couldn’t), I didn’t back down (partly because there is no other choice, if there were I would probably do). However, I am still somewhat proud of myself though I did make a fool out of myself but hey, embarrassment is the least of my concern.

Today, I went to see the doctor by myself and DREW BLOOD with no one by my side but the understanding doctor and a kind-faced nurse. I am proud of myself even if the doctor made me lie down because he was afraid I might faint and said to me “Whining’s not gonna help you” but the doctor did try to help take my mind off the needle (bless him) though to no avail. And all the while, the nurse and him were smiling, amused look on their faces. Anyway, at the end of the day, the fact remains that some blood was taken from me via a syringe and I survived but alas, I am still afraid of needles.

P/s: And the doctor said that he has seen worse and I was not it!
