Anyway, at the doctors just down the street from my house I went into the little room with a comfy bed in it and they did the thing I was expecting, but wasn't prepared for.
Having a needle shoved into the top, left and right side of my big toe.
Having not had any form of injection for the last 8 years I forgot what they felt like, and now I know why people complain about them so much ! It also turned out that three injections wasn't enough, so he stabbed another into my toe...
After being given a massive comedy-toe-bandage like something out of Tom and Jerry, my step-dad gave me a piggy-back home, felt like I was five again !
Features a smattering of blood, FYI.
Just like to thank everyone on these forums for your creativity being far superior to mine and being a great distraction from throbbing numbness ! ;)
