Quite good that kate, sounds like your daughter is a chip off the old block, having a good sense of humour. I used to be scared of needles, but not anymore, when you've had as any needles rammed in your arm as I have you become immune. By far the worst experience as far as needles are concerned is having your blood gases taken, which involves a needle being pushed directly into a main artery, and the blood being aloud to free flow into a pressurised syringe, now that does hurt, especially if the health professional ain't very good at it, and yes there are some. With being on oral steroids I bruise very easily and when I'm treated as an inpatient my arms are usually black and blue, especially the last time I was in, when they were taking my blood gases 5 times a day at one stage, not very nice
