Needles

My wife waited until last night to take her first injection of blood thinners. Fortunately, she's had lots of practice giving allergy shots to our dog. Regardless, she was afraid to give the shot to herself. Knowing that I'd be gone most days, she wanted to do it herself. I stood there while she shivered and cried, afraid to poke herself in the stomach. Finally, she built up enough courage to do it. Then she said, "that didn't hurt." It'll be interesting to see if she has difficulty giving herself the short today.
