Reality Bites

We have now been doing the daily injections for 5 days. All in all it is going better than I thought it would. I wake up in the morning, brush my teeth, pee, put on my make up and stab myself in the stomach with a needle. The weekends prove easier since Bry is home to inject into my arm. Although, I have to take my meds at a certain time each morning so he gets up in the morning, gets my dose and injects when I am half asleep. The shots aren't too bad. They are small needles and don't require a whole lot of pressure to inject. They only have to go into the skin to work. They mostly pinch and then itch a little afterwards.

The side effects are minimal; mostly exhaustion and a little crankiness, alright... quite a bit of crankiness. The reality of it is that it has all become so unbelievably real all of a sudden. I thought I knew what to expect, but I guess you can't adequately prepare for all of this. It is exhilarating, anxiety-provoking, exhausting and scarey as hell. I guess there's no going back now.
