I got staples for some surgery too, and my response was similar to your daughter's. I just thought it was so-o-o freakin' cool, but I was about 19 so it <i>was</i> cool <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> They just popped those suckers out, and I couldn't feel it at all, no anesthetic, but they were surface staples after all.<br><br>
The imagery is disturbing, but you'll be fine!! I think the ice cream reward is a very good idea! Local anesthetic and don't watch, don't even think about it while it's going on. Ask for something to look at or read. Divert your mind!!<br><br>
You are strong and serene! Good luck <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
