Coping With Pain

" Trying Times Are Times For Trying."

[Anonymous] 

      If you hate needles, then take the opportunity to master this fear. At first I looked the other way. Now I look exactly where they are putting the needle in. Whatever works for you. Talking to the person helps. Sometimes they have been frustrated finding the vein and I put them at ease, telling them to take a deep breath and to try again. This helps them out and you too. Turn things around and I swear, whatever time you have left, will be spent making a difference and having an adventure of a lifetime. Keep your sense of humor and if you haven't got one, acquire it. I laugh alot. I know it helps the immune system. Laughter is contagious and free. No, I am not an idiot. You must admit that no matter how bad things are about this whole ordeal that we are going through, there are some things that happen that are hysterical.
