Good news, bad news

[kjpepper]

Good news: it seems very likely that i will be sprung out of here this afternoon.

Bad news: I have to continue with both blood thinner meds. Yeah. Both. Including the one that needs to be injected into my tummy fat every 12 hours. *whine* I have to give myself shoooooooooooooooooots. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Seriously, it'll be fine once I do it a few times, I just have to stop being a pussy about it. But yeesh.

On the other hand, the IV'll come out, the heart monitor will be off and I'll get to hug my kitties and take a real honest to goodness shower soon. That I think will be worth the prices of 12 hour needles.

Good to hear, guess I'll put the kibosh on the newly-budding plan to visit later this weekend.

Hey - you have a gods-given American right to whine about having to give yourself *shots*. In the *stomach*.
But yay for home!

I second this!!

Of course i'm horribly needle-phobic ...so I would be totally freaking out and screaming from the rooftops to the universe that the situation was so Not Cool !

You are SO allowed to bitch about that. But yay for home, and kitties, and bathing properly.

Is one of the thinners heparin? And what is it you have to inject?

[kjpepper.livejournal.com]

nope, luvenox. It's apparently what they're replacing heparin with. And the good news is I only have to inject it once a day, not twice. W00t.

Speaking as someone who has to inject her own fat twice a day, I've found that the butt fat hurts a lot less than the tummy fat and you're less likely to catch a capillary and give yourself a nice bruise.

I don't know if your stuff can be injected into butt fat, but I would recommend you ask the doctor.
