My First Shot

So today was the day. I had to administer my first ever shot to myself. I have been putting it off all day and I knew that once the kids got home from school I would never do it. SOOOOOO with that said I gathered my courage, sat down, cleaned the area and DID IT!!!! My hands shook the whole time but I did it. I have now completed my first ever shot and feel as if I conquered a fear. But now I have to do it again in two weeks. Happy Tuesday everyone.

Doctor's Appointment

I had some interesting news this week. Apparently I am B12 deficient (the vitamin). I have not thought anything of this; apparently it is the new thing. Anyway the way in which you build up your B12 is to get shots; which I have been doing for 4 months. I started with everyday, then went to every week and finally the last few months I have had a shot monthly. I went to the doctor this week and the shots are not working. Soooooooooo....I now have to give myself a shot every two weeks. Wait what? WTF (you know what this means right)? I actually have to stick myself with a needle every two weeks; on my thigh. How in the hell am I going to do this? I am currently looking for alternatives (they are limited). Freaking out just a little.
