I did have to deal with the inevitable "you sure do have a lot of ink (to be scared of needles)" regular bullshit today. All medical professionals should get tattooed as a part of medical school so they stop asking stupid questions. If you want to cat scratch my spine with a tattoo needle, go to town. No, you want to visit my skeleton: NOT THE SAME THING. #yousuredohavealotofink #tattooed #needlefear #askastupidquestion #scared #needles #phobia https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLNaP1HNIX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gm8qlkxgl862

Had my second lot of bloods done, no panic attack, no tears, no swearing or anything! Can't believe it! { #mentalillness #mentalhealth #bloods #bloodtests #needlefear } (at Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire)

Got myself a nice collection of bruises from all the IV attempts. It took two nurses and five tries to get one in correctly. It's been six days since surgery and the bruises are coming out well. Shout out to nurses who have to put up with people like me who hate needles and have hard to find veins. #ivattempt #iv #surgery #needlefear #nurses #nursesrock #fivetimes #hospitalfun #bruise #bruises #bruised #ilooklikeigotinafight
