Was my day off, but I ended up going to work for a little bit anyway. Before I went to work, Ken and I went to my doctor's office this morning and they trained him on how to give me the Procrit shot. Before he gave it to me, the nurse made him practice for 20 minutes on a little sponge using some saline. He perfected the technique in about 2 minutes but had to practice (to stave off boredom) for a little while until the nurse came back to check on us. I was quite impressed - he went through every step each time, even the alchol rub, to make sure he had it correct. We joked about the "dart" techique of sticking the needle in... maybe we should draw a bullseye on the target? (he'd love that... he'd probably put the 'target' right on my tushy) Finally the nurse came back in and asked if we were ready. Ken was very sweet about the whole thing, even though I got the giggles and his hands were shaking when he was trying to give it to me. It didn't even hurt and he did a great job! He said later he was worried about pushing it in too hard or too soft and had been concentrating on the exact amount of pressure needed. Now I won't have to worry about going to the doctor's office every week for the shot - Ken can just stab me for kicks and giggles. Someday soon I'll learn how to do it myself, when I'm ready.
