We did it!! I came out to the living room and asked Den if he had a few minutes. He stared at me completely blankly. “For what?” I had to tell him. He immediately turned into Mr. Helpful. I grabbed the vial of Lupron from the fridge, he opened up a needle package and got an alchohol wipe ready. I read the dosage out as he wiped the top of the vial and the spot on my stomach I picked. Then he drew up the amount of liquid we needed for one dose (10 units; .1ml). I sat down, pinched my stomach, and he asked, “Are you ready?” In it went.<\/p>\n
And you know what? I barely felt a thing! Yes, I know, I’ve had two trigger shots before – but I had forgotten and started to worry again. But nope… not a thing! I admitted that I stung a heck of a lot more on Monday when one of the cats at work scratched my hand (not an unusual occurrence – and those buggers have sharp claws). I did have a little drop of blood form after the needle was pulled out, but a gauze quickly staunched that no problems.<\/p>\n
Den was fabulous. He did say I was over-analysing the instructions (“Yes, that’s what it says on the prescription label and what I just read online in injection instructions, but let me check the leaflet that came with the lupron, just to be sure<\/i>…”), but he handled the syringe expertly and did a fabulous job.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately I’ve totally forgotten when I need to take the baby aspirin and the doxycyclin (antibiotics). I’ll have to call the nurse tomorrow. I try so hard to keep organized, but wow this is a lot of info to keep track of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
