I confess: I am a big sissy! I have no problems watching cage fighters beat each other up to the point where the blood is pouring out of numerous cuts, but when it comes to looking at my own blood or watching surgeries on TV I am the biggest sissy in the world.

This morning for instance I tried to watch the program Body Work on TV. Body Work is a program about plastic surgery and they show the surgery in lots of detail. You can see how they cut the people open, peel the skin away, ‘butcher’ the people who have liposuction, etc. Usually I don’t watch that sort of stuff because it makes me feel sick, but this morning I had somehow convinced myself that I could watch it. I had convinced myself that I have a strong stomach and that it was time to stop being such a sissy.

I was alright during the first surgery and felt proud that I had watched all of it. But as the program progressed I felt a cold sweat coming over me, I became light headed and slowly I could feel my stomach turn. I knew where this was going; I was about to faint.  I wanted to change the channel but the remote was laying on the table and I was afraid that if I got up I would faint. So I closed my eyes, tuned out and concentrated on taking big breaths. It took about 15 minutes before I felt better again.

Lesson learned; I am still a big sissy!
