OUCH!!

Glad it wasn't worse.

Lydocain hurts worse than the original cut or the stiches. I refuse to have anything to do with it. BTW - I made this decision when I was 6 or 7 and had my lower lip ripped open to my chin by a dog. The bite never hurt, but the Lydocain shots to numb it hurt like the devil. I swore to never let them do that again. When I smashed my face on lava rock in Hawaii I refused the Lydocain and had 130+ stitches without it. I never hurt at all, needle felt funny pulling the skin and all.

I should mention that I have a VERY high threshold for pain and even when I do feel it, I forget about it quickly. It's very odd.
