Highly Sensitive

Lately I have been coming to the conclusion that the little woman falls in the higher end of the spectrum for sensitivity.  It's called highly sensitive.  Some of the signs are bugged by small things like seams in socks, textures of foods, high empathy and on and on.  I don't think she is extremely high sensitive, but she definitely is highly sensitive.  It explains the not being able to wear shoes that I can't get the sand out of or having the seams on the socks be just right.  It explains the picky eating.  And on and on. 
I took an online test and I don't put much faith in them, but she still scored in the ranks of having it.  Twenty percent of the population do.  It isn't so much a condition as an explanation and now we can look for ways to make life a tad easier for my little woman.  Anyway today someone else commented about it in her.
So she again got bit by a dog.  This time our dog.  Right on her lip and she knew instantly she needed stitches.  She came and told me and then showed me.  And then we went to the ER.  Again we got sent up to pediatrics.  And it was hard.  After her last experience she was not going to cooperate at all.  And she really needed to because of where the bite is.  So the decision was made to sedate her.  And oh my gosh....she got so much medicine it was unbelievable and she still was awake during the procedure.  Not to the point of fully awake, but enough that she did move and squirm and talk.  She got four stitches.  One inside and three outside.  And they are dissolvable.  Thank goodness.  And while she was "under" the doctor went ahead and took out the remaining three stitches in her fingers that she would not let anyone do.  We had went to urgent care and after removing three they told me they could not do anymore and to bring her back some other time.  She felt him removing those stitches. 
When they were almost done the tech and the respiratory therapist talked about how amazing it was that she had that much ketamine in her and still she was aware of what was happening to her.  The tech then turned around and asked me if she was in the highly sensitive category.  Anyway once they quit bothering her she slept and didn't wake up for another three hours.  The doctor said the good thing about the versaid and ketamine they gave her is that she would not remember any of it. 
Ha.  Maybe not all of it, but enough of it is still remembered.  I hope we don't have any more trips to the ER anytime soon.
