It was time for the epidural. No point in enduring so much pain if you don't have to, right?
Needles generally don't bother me. However, the idea of shoving a 5" needle into my wife's spine makes me a little weak in the knees. I excused myself to the waiting room which was surprisingly crappy. Aside from the MASH reruns on the little TV there was nothing else to look at. No newspapers. No magazines. It could quite possibly be the worst waiting room I've ever been in. Good thing they don't make the husbands wait in there anymore.

We were big fans of the epidural. They didn't want to let me watch, but I sneaked a peak. It wasn't really that scary, since the "needle" was flexible and very very thin. I felt better knowing it wasn't as bad as I had imagined it. And anything that stops the pain is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteExactly how many wating rooms have you been in? I am thinking, I am pretty sure I haven't been in very many. To keep yourself busy, you can ask the nurse to make you flavored ice chips, they are oh so good. =)
