Because a nurse asked and I had no clue and nothing else to do, I decided to add it up, how many times I've been stuck while here so far.
1-IV (so far) - expecting to get another one today.
3-shots in the rear -likely another today
4-blood draws (3 of which were at 4:30 in the morning?!)
27-finger pricks - this is a few sticks low from reality I'm sure. I can't remember how many times they have had to stick me 2 or more times to get enough for their test strip. Theirs take a ridiculous amount of blood.
7-shots of insulin
How many does it take to qualify as a pin-cushion? Either way, I'm quite sure I'm getting there quicklyl. I may never care about another needle again after all this.
