My first day here it started - my veins would not take the I.V. - they tried 7 times. The severe sharp stinging pain kept happening. Surgery was great, in and out - no problem. Until at the M.R.I. the pain kept escalating - severe tenderness and sharp pains intensified. It just kept progressing as an I.V. was plugged in. I had too many intense ordeals and it was non-stop pain. Then Karen came and saved my day! She was literally a ray of sunshine, to say the least, and changed a bad day to good.
