Like all kids, I was terrified of needles. After a doctor completed a sentence, I would ask if I was going to get a shot. Sunburn, poison ivy, didn't matter, I followed up with "am I going to get a shot?" I went from ages 12 to 28 without facing a needle and had to get blood drawn for an employment physical. I was nervous as hell, but after it was done I felt embarrassed. After the the pain of broken bones, bruised ribs, and the like I had experienced between those ages, it was nothing. I can't believe I made a big deal out of it. It doesn't bother me at all at this point.
