*whew* thanks! I faint at the sight of needles too! I get so panicky any time I go to the doctors. The first time my mom sent me by myself to get shots before college I almost ran out of the doctors office before they could call me name lol.

The worst shot I ever had to get was the yellow fever vaccine when I went to Africa. They give it to you in your arm and it HURTS. I asked the nurse if that was normal and she was all like "yup, that's the most painful shot we give." -.-

Hopefully I will have a positive experience like you! A phoenix sounds like a pretty awesome thing to have on your back!!!
