I am looking for some sympathy here!
The wife is having to give me a daily blood thinning jab after my operation as a prevention of DVT.
So here's yesterdays goings on - We decide tonights jab is in the right hand side of the tum, so I hold a pinch of fat ready. She appears from the kitchen with syringe. The idea is that you pull the plastic sheath off the needle, anyone else, hold plastic cover between fingers on one hand and the syringe with other hand and pull apart, Nurse Gladys has a new method, still holding as mentioned she pulls cover off and the bounces her hand back as if to replace cover on needle, misses and stabs her thumb, drawing blood and some swear words.
Phase two is the injection. She aims needle and pushes it in, a little to hard for my liking and I yelp a little. She, thinking it hurt me, pulls it out before pressing plunger. She then presses plunger to cover tummy area with liquid that ideally should be inside fatty tissue as it would work a little better. A few more profanities and she is just about to re stick the needle in when I remind her that the contents have been liberally sprayed over my best Footjoy golf shirt and I doubt that my Coroners report will read well if none of the anti co-agulant is found inside me although I could wring the shirt out and drink it! So she gets another needle and all works well this time.
What worries me is that the darts have now started on Sky and I'm due a jab soon - One Hundred and Eighty! and an injection from 6 Ft away
Question - would you do your own jabs with only another 27 to go?
