It wasn't to bad. In fact I didn't even get out of bed. At 7 am, DH woke up got the it ready and told me his was going to poke me, then I went back to sleep! I didn't think it would be bad though. I'm pretty tough, I can handle a little sting. Although, I have these 18 gauge needles I'm not exactly looking forward too!!

Nice! You didn't even have to get out of bed! That's what I call service!

Glad it went ok!!
And don't worry, those 18 gauge needles are probably just for drawing up the medicine, not for injecting!!


Kristin

Welcome to the fun, Lacy!

Kristin's right. The 18 gauge are for mixing/drawing up meds. Make sure you have smaller ones--discuss it with your nurse.
