Yikes!!

I went to the Dr's appt today. The drive up there was terrible it was raining super hard, and the interstate was crawling. But I did survive the drive. The actual appt was not so great either. Dr says things are not as far along as she wants. Now we will double the dose for the injections, no big deal right? Right, except, we need to give them in the muscle not sub q(just under the skin), which means not in the belly fat, but in the ass or thigh, again no big deal. But wait there's more, I also can no longer use the nice small 27g pin needle, nooo, i have to use the giant inch and a half long 23g needle, in the muscle, ALL the way in. Yikes! Needless to say I was NOT looking forward to that in any way shape or form. But I did it. Myself. In the front of my thigh. It hurt. A LOT. Two more of them, and i go back to the Dr on Thurs. At least the needles wont get bigger! But here's a pic for comparison, nice small 27g on left, and big painful 23g (which is three times longer by the way) on the right. Enjoy =)
