My Needle

So today's exciting activity was giving myself an injection. Previously I had been going to the hospital the day after chemo to get this injection which boosts my immune system. Talking with other people I learned that you didn't really have to go to the hospital as you could just have someone give you the needle or you could do it yourself. So I decided to cancel my appointment at the hospital and give it a try myself. The plan was that Wes would give me the needle, but as he was busy working all day at his place and I was at mine, I decided that I really want to be brave and give it to myself. So with Erin reading the instruction we did it. You can choose from a few different places to inject...mainly the fatty places on your body. At the hospital they gave it to me in the back of the arm, but tonight I decided the easiest place was in the stomach. I really didn't hurt that much, and afterward I was actually quite proud of myself.
