nerve block accomplished

[sasha_feather]

Got my nerve block yesterday morning! I begged them for help, got on the wait list for appointments, and then was able to get in quickly. Afterwards I slept most of the day, but now it is kicking in and I'm feeling much better.

There was a funny and kind of WTF moment where the resident was chatting with me and noticed the Rebel Alliance star wars pin on my hat. He said "I'm more of an Empire guy myself."

I said, "What... really?"

"Yeah, they have cool uniforms."

"But they're fascists!" I said. At which point he back-pedaled a little bit, and so now hopefully he will re-consider saying this to any future patients. He was a nice-seeming person who probably has never thought deeply about media. At least that is my hope!

I am really enjoying Star Trek Discovery this season! :D

I'm glad you were able to get the nerve block! Those things are so wonderful.

Yay, pain relief!

Some people, focused only on the appearance and not the substance, LOL.

They're literally Nazis. Stormtroopers = Nazis. Literally! If their uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss it could not be more on the nose.

Glad you got the nerve block! And yeesh, yea, the Empire might have fun villains but they're still ... yk ... the baddies.

Hoooooooray! for Pain Control!

Congrats on speaking up and I'm grateful they were listening.

No better time to call someone out on their fascism-ation than after you've gotten a nerve block.

Oh, it was *before*-- we were waiting for the doctor. Then he was the one who stuck a needle in my face, lol. :D
