laughing during a fill

[MSan914 3]

I had my first fill on Wednesday (June 10).

The dr gave me a shot to numb the area - and then inserted the needle for the fill.

When the needle went in I started to laugh and couldn't stop. She waited about 10 seconds and then told me that if I couldn't stop laughing she would have to remove the needle.

I took a huge breath and tried to breat slowly and think about something else. But I couldn't help it - I just busted out laughing again.

Luckily - in those few seconds of not laughing she was able to get the needle into the port.

I got 2 cc's.

anyone else have the "laughing" episode?:thumbdown:

Definately not laughing for me yesterday. The RN gave me my fill yesterday and she couldn't find the port. I took her about 3 sticks before she called a Dr in and he took several sticks until they finally found it. Wasn't funny at all. Seems the Dr did me a favor and put in the low profile port. Said it would be better because it wouldn't be as bothersome to me. Yeah right!! I didn't think it was such a good idea....

But I know those spells of silly laughter are really hard to stop and they appear at the most inappropriate times. Glad you had a good time......:thumbdown:
