Planning The Unpredictable

The nurse from a local home health care company came out today to give me the injection training. I think the company really pushes the auto-injection because she was kind of against me doing it manually so I agreed to do auto-injection. I had asked to see the needle which I could tell she was uncomfortable with but she pulled the cap off and showed me. I tried to put it in the auto-injector but the cap kept coming off and then some of it medicine leaked out. We then decided it would be best to do it manaully…

Manually seemed like a good idea in my head but I admit it’s hard to poke yourself. It took Tom and the nurse coaching me to get me to poke myself… and I DIDN’T EVEN FEEL IT! I guess I have found a benefit to having a little (ok maybe a little more than ‘little’) fluff. I slowly pushed the medicine in and it was done. No pain at all!

About 2-3 minutes after the injection I did feel a burn kind of like a bee sting but it went away in about 5 minutes. There was some mild soreness for about an hour or two after but thats it. No problem. I might actually be able to do this….
