I used to not be pansy. Needles, rollercoasters, heights... They didn't scare me. Not anymore.
I've had the luxury of nurses at the health center administering my T shots for the last two years. I started doing it myself under their supervision... and then last night was the first time I've done it at home.
I was SUPER nervous and just kept thinking (and saying) I can't. But I did. I plunged the needle in and squeeze out the T.
And then I yanked the needle out and when I did out came a gush of blood. I FREAKED!
Normally, it's a dot of blood but this was literally a gush... and thank goodness for my wonderful, level-headed girlfriend. She brought me a paper towel and said it's okay. And it was. I went through a vein (which is normal)
