Today I set up the alarm clock to go off bright and early. When it rang, I was like still lazing around. Turned around but hubby was not there. Saw the toilet lights on. Called out to him. As he was settling whatever business he was doing, I walked in my sleepy mode to the dining room table to grab my medication and syringe.
Walked back into the room and hubby was all set. He teased me by saying, "Okay I am ready to see you do your injection." Yeah right, I hate injection on its own and not you want me to do it myself? Hahah funny.
I have requested hubby to do all my injections for me. Well, i believe I haven't mention it yet but hubby is a medic in the army so poking people with needles, putting IV drips for people are a normal daily activity for him. BUt today somehow he looks nervous. His hand was a little trembling. Hmmm... That is so unlikely of him. It took him a while to get the medication in the syringe and to remove any air bubble in it. I was lying on bed, pinching my layer of fats and turning away from him, waiting for him to poke me anytime. I asked why it was taking him so long and he said, he don't like hurting me even if it was supposedly for our own good.
In a minute, I can feel the prick and the 5 seconds he counted seems to take longer. It stings a little after that, the area turned red like it has been bitten by mosquito but other than that I am okay.
So here I am one day in the preparation stage. So far so good.

The first one is the worst. :) They do get easier to do. :) Good luck!
HI! I found your site through cyclesista and just wanted to say hello! You sound positive and hopefull in your last post - that's great! You finished your first day of shots -- and probably the second by now! Hang in there - it gets easier and easier!
Best wishes!
Thank you to both of you for the encouraging message.
Yup I agree that the first injection is the most difficult. It gets easier by the minute. BUt then again I wonder whether there will be a time when I am ready to do my own injection.
Maybe on Tuesday morning I have to do it on my own. HUbby working night shift the previous day. We'll see whether I am brave enough. Haha..
My husband does my injections too. He was really freaked out the first time. Now he is a pro.
