[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2696838, member: 372207"] I was adviced to take two 500 mg paracetamol tablets and 400 mg of ibuprofen an hour before my appointment, and I'll definitely follow this advice. As for the high pain tolerance, I don't think so. Getting the stitches in needed two numbing injections, and I howled with both of them. Getting them out produced some very sorry squeaky noises, prompting my neighbour to tell me to stop whinging, so I don't feel all that brave... Apart from the possible pain, I'm very uncomfortable with having to display myself in that kind of way, and I miraculously managed to reach 47 years of age without ever having to do this for an HCP. So your well wishes are more than welcome! I did some unplanned practicing with being uncomfortable with my (fat and way more female than I like) body today. :hilarious: After work on the ship, the neighbours from a different ship called me over for a beer, the weather was amazing, I hadn't been swimming outside in weeks, and the water called. So I complained about my swimming stuff being at home in my own car (which doesn't work again so using my neighbour's), and I had to get some groceries so I didn't want to go home in my wet clothes. The very young deckhand said "so go skinny dipping, problem solved", and I decided he was correct, so I did, without being bothered about people seeing me. :joyful: [/QUOTE]
