I cam relate to the sticks. Both my arms are bruised from all the iv sticks and blood draws from my recent 9-day stay in hospital. Hey, I had total knee replacement of both knees in 2013. It is SO worth it. You will love being pain free after recovery.

So sorry about the painful jabs. They used ultrasound to locate the vein and insert the needle when I was in the hospital, saved having to guess and jab. Glad everything else went well! 💚💛💜

Year of health, how did your surgery go??? shirfleur , they used the ultrasound with me, too, but it showed nothing. Thanks for thinking of me, everyone! Things are still going well, except I threw up part of the little bit of hospital food I ate for dinner

I'm glad to hear it went well except that you were a pin cushion! I hate when that happens! Hopefully you'll be on the mend quickly and will feel lots better!

That part is almost always horrid! When they ask me if I have any allergies...I say "to needles"....which arm do you want this in..."yours"...nobody listens to me. So glad this is done and wish you a speedy recovery!

Surgery was a little over 9 hours but it took them 3.5 hours to come out of the proposal anasthesia so wound up in surgical center from 7:30 till 11 pm. I dont remember that night. Im incredibly sore everywhere. Back, bum, arms, tummy. Crazy what i did to myself in the name of vanity. Sure i will be happy by Xmas but right now i just hurt.

Aww, Yearofhealth 2023. Sounds like you’re really suffering! Remember, the pain is only temporary, then comes the reward!
