I was in the middle of getting into the L position when I slipped off the ledge.. probably fell about 5 feet before my belet (sp?) caught me. The guys at the top of the tower said my scream was blood curdling.

The next time we had to do the tower (some drill weekend a year or two later), I had a panic attack as I was walking up the stairs. So yeah, I try to avoid rappel towers whenever possible.

Needles in the arm don't bother me. Dental freezing is a different thing altogether though. It feels like I'm taking a spike to the brain. Fortunately my current dentist is one I had back when I was a kid, who knows that I can tolerate nitrous. I like nitrous

I've gotten better and don't freak out anymore. Maybe the medical training

When I was a teenager had to get a sot in the butt and tensed up so bad that I broke the needle off in my butt. Now that was painful!!!!

I get to go have novacain today! They're filling an area in my teeth that may one day become a cavity so yippee! Fucking dental and their wanting practice.

Ducati Diva had it broke off in her butt!

I'll give you the "needle".

I just didn't like it as a child. I broke my leg when I was about 12 and it took my mother and about 6 doctors to hold me down to give me a couple of needles.

I couple of years ago they were sending in a nurse to give me a needle. I warned them that I have never been a fan of needles. The woman came in and started talking to me, when she found out she asked me if I was going to hit her if she gave it to me.

I told her no and I didn't.

I think I might have had a bad experience as a child. I know I had one with a dentist. I was nervous and tried to get out of the chair, he picked me up and slammed me into the chair. Mom hauled me out of there, he is lucky my father wasn't there at the time.

I had a dentist put in the needle and I was calm. I thought this isn't that bad. Then he started moving it around.

I am going to start by saying something I have said before. I am a recovering Drug addict and I haven't Used in 28 years.
That said as a Kid I hated Needles How ever by the time I was 21 I accepted them enough on one particularly bad weekend I recall making a syringe out of a bic pen a light bulb and balloon holding cell (never mind how the how I got the balloon and its contents into the cell with me) Now 30 years later if I have to have an IV shot I usually have to fight the urge to take the syringe away from the person giving it because I am sure I can do a better job of finding my veins than they can. God I am weird

First off, congrats on the clean 28 years!

Second off, that cell situation is messed up! Glad you are clean now!
