Sensitivity

I had an interesting moment of "What? You mean some people DON'T?" this weekend.

[Poll #1308075]

My answer to both of these is "Duh! Doesn't EVERYBODY?" (In the case of mosquitos, how else do you know to swat them?) These are not small sensations for me. They are obvious and can be startling. Last weekend I learned that there are people for whom this is not the case. I was pretty surprised.

At the vet clinic, it's obvious that some animals feel the needles while others do not. That also seems very strange to me.

I feel both. I only wish I could not feel a needle stick as it would have made those 4 AM draws while I was in the hospital so much easier.

4AM draws in the hospital? Yuck! What was going on?

It was when I had gastritis back in July. I spent three days in the hospital and they draw every day between 4 and 5. If only I could sleep through that.

Oh UGH. I'm sure that that modification to your sleep schedule did wonders for the rapidity of your recovery.
