Eye shots

I’ll try to get over the anxiety of a needle going into my eye. When the doctor says here I come the minute I feel the pressure i start counting 1001 1002 1003 1004 1005 that’s all it takes five seconds. I hope this will help someone.

    1. @joel this is a great tip because it's time-based. We can bear something more easily when we know it's only for a few seconds. Thank you. Wendy, Advocate.
