Here begins the hard part of the journey...Stella's biggest complaint in the hospital wasn't all of the horrible pain, lack of entertainment (she was so sick she didn't even care about that) or not being able to eat...it was having tape ripped off her skin. She was so tough that the nurses fought over who got her becuase she never cried during blood draws, iv's going bad and having to be restarted, and people poking around on her. She even had to have an iv started in the middle of a CAT scan because they couldn't get the contrast in so they did it without any numbing at all.
