One Shot Down....Many To Go

Well, today I administered my first shot of Decapeptyl. I was pretty freaked out all last night leading up to this morning's shot. I did not sleep well leading up to it. We decided to do the shot at the same time we give our dog his medicine. So we got up and started to get this meds together. The mixing was no problem, but when we tried to suck up all the liquid, the needle just did not reach everything. I was so freaked out that I was not getting the right amount of the meds. But Barry talked me down from the ledge, lol. Then when we were trying to make sure the meds were all the way to the end of syringe with no bubbles, I pushed the plunger too far and some of the meds came out into the needle cap. Again, I freaked out that I was not getting the right amount. Then we got to the point where I needed to give myself the shot. I was nervous about doing it but then just went for it. It was nothing. I left the needle in for the 5 seconds after but still had a drop come back out. Oh well, thank goodness I have heard about this happening to other people, that way I did not freak out too much.
So we will do this again tomorrow and the next day and the next day......I am very thankful that Barry was here to help me for the first couple, MAYBE I won't freak out too much when I have to do it on my own.
