Since my surgery I have been using a blood thinner called Lovenox. I picked up the prescription the week before my surgery and instead of receiving a little bottle of pills I received 3 boxes of needles!
28 pre-packaged, pre-filled needles.
It was at that moment that I became goofy. The way I usually get when I'm shocked and have no idea how to react except to smile, laugh and keep repeating the thing that I'm shocked about.
Micah has been giving me the injections, but when he is not home I have to do it myself.
Not fun.
It must be administered into the abdomen, so first you clean the area with rubbing alcohol.
Then you pinch an area of skin so that way you are injecting into fat and not into an organ or something. After pushing the mediction through you pull the needle out quickly and immediately stop pinching.
These needles are really cool because after you are done you continue to push and a guard pops up.
Boom. Safety.
Isn't that cool?
