I did It...
Today was yet another friday which means injection day.
I was called in and she asked do you want to do it today , I replied I will give it a go. Then I went hot and cold all over everytime needle went anywhere near my skin.
I directed my fear into an imaginery bottle and screwed the top tight. Yes I am weird lol!!
10 Minutes later she said do you want me to do it. No I am going to do it and guess what, I did it. I cried with with happiness and yes relief.
She said I did it a little slow and thought it must of been painful , but I am not sure if shock wiped out the pain but I didn't feel a thing. I am now doing an impression of a cheshire cat....
Next week I will go once more and do it with their careful eye watching me.
I did it!!!!

'I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I know I can, I know I can......!
Woohoo again! Next time you can do it yourself and do it fast too! If only I had the same commitment when it came to losing weight......looking forwad to seeing you next weekend!!
I used to be on dialysis and had to take meds to keep my red blood cell count up and I HATED giving myself the injections. I only had to do it a couple of times, but I wasn't good at it and it hurt. I applaud you for your success. It really is impressive to me. Good going!
I really do thank-you for all your support.
Once a week is all i have to do and the benefits far out-weigh the side effects even though yet again i am doing an impression of a tomatoe.
hey girl...huge congrats! i don't see any way i could give myself shots - i absolutely hate needles!
just wanted you to know i was here, thinking and praying for you! Many blessings! :-)
Psalm 35:9,10 And my soul shall rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in His salvation. All my bones will say, "Lord, who is like You, Who delivers the afflicted...
You have such a beautiful, positive attitude! Who knew someone could get happy about giving themselves a shot! :-) Hang in there!
Praying for you right now!
I marvel at what we humans can do when we feel a great enough need. God is so wonderful in creating us with teh ability to adapt and overcome obstacles that are, or that we place in our way.
Your positive outlook and attitude are an encouragement to me. You help put into perspective the trials and difficulties that we face daily. Most are not as monumental as we "feel" they are. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Great job on the shot!!! I know I could if I had to, but my I hope I never have to. ;)
Oh my. I don't know if I could give myself any injections either.
Just stopping by to let you know what I am praying for strength for you today...
Living by His grace...
How exciting to overcome yourself and do it yourself!! Ill be praying that the Joy of the Lord be your strength. Thank you and May He bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you...
Here's to next week!!

If I were ever able to give myself an injection without fainting, I imagine I would be as happy about it as you are=) (And I'm not even scared of needles)
Praying for you!
Wow! God is good! There have been many times when I have worried about the future, wondering if I will handle a situation right. Then someone told me that God gives us the grace for things at the time that we need them and not before. I have found this to be true. You didn't need the grace to do this before, but when the time came for you to do it, He came through for you!
I'm praying for you.
Hey,
Just wanted to let you know I'm lifting you up in prayer. I'm rather impressed that you can give yourself a shot as well....
I'll continue to pray for you and your health. I'll also be praying that God gives you the strength and peace you need to get through this season!
God was with you . . . Through Him we can "do valinatly" . . . At least that's what I've found to be true!
Congratulations!
Wow what a wonderful and loving response.
Thank-you all for your prayers and support.
I will be praying for you.I am such a baby when it comes to needles I even hate to have my blood taken.
I have to give my daughter a "poke" to check her blood thinning levels because she is on coumadin (blood thinner). I hate doing it to her. Yet, think of that shot helping you with LIFE. Be thankful it's available and that God has supplied it. Think of others in other parts of the world that don't have it and are dying. I am so thankful my daughter has this device so we don't have to worry as much with every injury and/or nose bleed. God promises good WILL come out of everything for those that LOVE HIM!
You have a great attitude and look forward to reading your next entry!

I also have MS. Diagnosed in 1999. I homeschool 6 children.
I could tell you all sorts of "injection" stories.
Like the day my son, who aspires to be a doctor like his dad, asked me if he could give me the intramuscular injection that day. I let him. And even though he missed a couple of times and wiggled the needle, I did not scream or cry. You would have been so proud of me. I can laugh at it now. Thankfully the Lord has provided me with a sense of humor.
