Hi Michelle,

I am just like Joanna in that although I think of myself as a tough cookie, having the peg pulled hurt like HELL ... the good news is that the pain, for me, only lasted a few seconds and then all was well! The hole seemed to close up overnight and what a WONDERFUL feeling to be separated from that peg!!! I remember that when my doctor pulled it (in his office) it made the loudest POP sound that was so loud that it startled my sister who happened to be in the room! Tell Dan that it's really no big deal and if he should have any discomfort - even for a few seconds - it's well worth it!

Hugs, Nancy
