Happy 4th July

Though I no longer celebrate, for my fellow American compatriot, who will no doubt be celebrating: Happy 4th July @Bambino.

Thank you @TallTrees. I won't be celebrating. It's a quiet day I have planned. Some streaming and my recordings. I assume @Bambino may though.

To be honest I nearly forgot. I was playing a game and it suddenly dawned on me what the day was. So clearly, I've been here too long - an American in name only

Thank you @Cleoriff. I don't know what @Bambino is doing but I'm having a quiet day. My recordings, some streaming and peace. I've some orders coming from Amazon, some time today. So that's my day planned.

I'll amend that for you @Glory1 ..a quiet day, down a dark hole with fans blowing to keep you cool?

I'm off for some blood tests...Deep joy...

Well I'm not planning the dark hole but the fan definitely

Blood tests, nasty. Sorry @Cleoriff. My day is definitely better than yours.

Thank you @EmilieT. As said I'm having a quiet day, enjoyable for me though.

Happy 4th July @Glory1 and @Bambino whatever you are doing

@Cleoriff:

As I have a fear of needles, to me a blood test isn`t very pleasant, so I hope yours goes OK and wish you well.

@Mi-Amigo

Luckily as I have used a lot of injection needles in my lifetime as a nurse, I have no fear of them at all!

No needles don't bother me either @Cleoriff. It always amuses how the nurses at my doctor's surgery try to distract me when they have to take my blood. I watch every thing they do with interest and they soon realise they've no need to distract me.

Needles hold no fear for me at all. I had a spinal tap, when I was in hospital the last time, which despite what I'd been told didn't hurt at all. Either I'm unique or the doctor (a junior doctor by the way) was expert at giving a spinal tap. I'd say it was the latter.

Well I sit the other end of the spectrum.
Don't like needles whether they are going in me or someone else.
Last couple of times I have had to have an injection or give blood have not been particularly pleasant experiences.
When I had a steroid injection in my knee the Dr (GP) had to get me to lie down before I went not of my own free will!!

Good to hear @Cleoriff and great to have you back in one piece

Re: Happy 4th July

Glory1 — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 11:52:30 GMT

Well all my Amazon orders arrived. I nearly didn't hear the bell, so engrossed was I on what I was watching. I checked the tracking a few times, and as he didn't leave till after 10am was expecting him late afternoon. He was here at midday.

And bless him, unlike others he rang my bell not once, twice but three times and waited. And brought the parcels upstairs without a quibble. I hope they use him again, he was very nice and didn't have an attitude like some who deliver; even though I explain I'm disabled and please could they bring it up to the 3rd floor.

@Cleoriff Good to hear it all went well

@Glory1 That's really kind of the delivery man! What did you treat yourself to if you don't mind me asking? Some exciting movies/boxsets to watch?

Good to know that everything went OK @Cleoriff

and yeh although a needle might only be a "little prick" to needlephobe`s like me that doesn`t make it any better, but that said I realise that sometimes a needle - whether for injection or sample - is necessary and appreciate that this can contribute to treatment.
