We had Chinese take out.

My fortune cookie read:

"Think of danger while things are going smoothly" [Eek!]

I ask you, WHAT ARE THE ODDS?!! [bonk]

I thought fortune cookies were supposed to be pleasant. Everyone else got good ones, or at least ones that didn't make a whole lot of sense, but couldn't be interpreted as bad.

Oh well, C'est la vie! [lol]

Thanks Betty & mtree! [kiss]

Apparently your prayers for me were answered.

I went to Princeton Medical Center & the doctor who placed it this time was an angel. He made sure it was THOROUGHLY numbed before doing the insertion.

I only felt a pinch & some stinging, other than that everything went MUCH more smoothly this time. [Smile]

I looked up his name, because I promptly forgot it (of course [bonk]

). It was Dr. Compito if anyone's interested. [Big Grin]

Darn it! It went smoothly, NOW am I supposed to be "thinking of danger"? [Roll Eyes]

LOL

Hopefully you guys warded off the danger for me, so I won't have to worry about it anymore. [Big Grin]

Thanks again!
[group hug]

Betty,

I guess I forget that not everyone knows "Princeton". It's "University Medical Center at Princeton" in Princeton, NJ.

I don't know that Dr.Compito is particularly "LL" but he is very compassionate & understanding of hypersensitive nerves. He does not Dx/Tx Lyme.

I'm sure you probably realized that, but my head is really scrambled right now [dizzy]

, so forgive me if I'm re-stating something you already know.

[group hug]

Ali

BIG PS- I was dismissed as SOMATOFORM by a very well-respected ID who is affiliated with Princeton Medical Center. He had run all kinds of tests, but NO TBD tests.

I would ONLY recommend them (more specifically HIM) for the PICC placement procedure because my last placement there was not so pleasant [shake]
