Could you give yourself injections?

[FinnyStory]

DH has to have daily blood thinning injections in his stomach for the next few weeks. He's an ex soldier and afraid of nothing, I'm the squeamish one in this house.

After he was discharged from hospital, they sent the district nurse to do the first one and to teach him how to do it himself. He real really can't, so I'm doing it. I've surprised myself and am rather proud that I can just get on with it

I get it, I'm not sure I could do it to myself, could you?

Also,I'm allowed to tease a little bit, aren't I?

Yes, when I had ivf. My daughter was worth every stab!

Yes, I had to inject myself with dalteparin (blood thinners) for a few days prior to a procedure - used the extra roll of fat on my tummy (knew it would come in useful one day). Surprisingly didn't really bother me.

I did them after dc2 because I had a cs and it was ok, I just got on with it. My mum has a condition that means she has to do them weekly and she just gets on with it too. It’s not pleasant, but needs must.
