What is that?!

So during my morning shower, I noticed it.  The dreaded red spot.  I knew it was a possible side effect, but I hadn't seen any on my legs so I thought I would be spot free.  Wrong - right there, to the left of my belly button is a red spot the size of a quarter.  Just another reason for me to HATE injecting there. GRRRRR.  I've heard it can take several weeks for the red spot to fade.  GREAT!  Who wouldn't want a big red spot?  Not a fan.

Other than that, I'm doing fairly well!  No flu like side effects, I've felt fine.  The only thing I've really noticed is that I don't have a restful sleep on injection nights.  I have to call Multiple Support about the drips again, so I'll ask if there's anything I can do to help me have a good sleep!!!  Tossing and turning 3 nights a week does not make for a happy Sarah. 

Tomorrow is injection night.  My boyfriend is coming over, and I'll do the injection on the right side of my stomach.  I will not be pressing the button though.  I work myself up to the point where I can't bring myself to press the button, so my boyfriend will do it for me!  I'll lay down, close my eyes, and he'll just do it without warning so I won't have time to freak out!  Wednesday I will have to do the little spot on my back, or behind my arm.  Not looking forward to those nights either. 

My boyfriend bought us tickets to go zip lining in Whistler.  Unfortunately, with all the mess and press surrounding the sled dog slaughter we haven't been able to book a time for us to go.  Even though the zip line company is not associated with the sled dog company, they are being inundated with calls and we can't get through.  So instead of going zip lining this weekend, we went to the gun range!

I am not a gun person.  When my boyfriend said he wanted to go, I was hesitant but figured I'd give it a try.  As soon as we got there and I heard how loud the shots were, I almost chickened out.  Once I realized that I could pick a target that looked like a big fat zombie, I was good to go.  It turned out to be a really fun day.  I think I don't try a lot of new things because I'm nervous or scared.  Yesterday showed me that I need to suck it up and stop being a princess - I might just have fun!!!!

That's all for now.  I'm sure tomorrow will make for an interesting post.  My boyfriend hasn't had to help me with my injections yet.  He says he's not nervous, but I guess we'll find out!
