We've been switching back and forth between my left leg and my right leg for the shots, and because Kelly has gotten so much better at it, it's hard to see where he did the later ones. The first one is still bruised, so it's obvious where that one went. And there is still a big red dot where he did the second one. Otherwise, I can't see anything left of shots 3 and 4.
It just dawned on me that we might run out of room! The thought of poking my leg in the same spot twice makes me dizzy just thinking about it. But I can't really see where any of the shots have been except numbers 1 and 2. So when I tried to find a "new" spot for tonight's shot I sort of felt like we had nowhere else to go. The problem is compounded, of course, by the extensive network of bright blue veins in my leg. The thought of putting the shot into one of them.......ok, I've got to stop talking about this.
I guess I am going to have to start marking myself with a Sharpie as a reminder.
We ended up doing the shot mid-thigh in a vein-free spot, but there was a little pool of medicine that seeped out. I was freaking out, but Kelly said the nurse told us that might happen and don't worry about it. I told him I didn't hear her say that, and he asked if I wanted him to give me another shot? I guess she DID say it after all :)
