Lindsay, this isn't an uncommon fear - LOTS Of people have a fear of needles - you have no idea how many there are. Don't beat yourself up about it at all. Just like you are doing, know how to deal with it - and you'll be anxious, but you'll be fine!
Oh and I can stick anything into anybody
but I don't watch them put the needle into me either. I can look after it is in, but I don't want to see it go in. Now THAT is kooky! LOL!
