I'm going to have a procedure -- an epidural steroid injection. They will stick needles in my back, and happily two of them will contain anesthesia. I am calm now, but I suspect that when it is scheduled (and further, when it is happening) I will not be calm. I will ask for a sedative; of this I am sure. I fear too that I will start talking while sedated and reveal unsavory details about myself. Gawd knows there are plenty of those I could go on about. Mostly, I'm afraid that they'll stick the needle(s) in the wrong place and I'll wind up ...
well, I don't want to think about that.
How was your day?

good golly. you can't think about such things. you won't be looking at that needle, so you don't need to think about how big it will be, and they're going to numb the area with something topical anyway. and don't you know that anesthesiologists are the highest paid doctors? that also means they're the best, happiest and nicest. true fact. there will be no mistakes in your spine.
