First one done

First insulin dose given tonight. I'm so proud of me... for facing it, for being willing to fumble my way through it, but mostly for catching her when she tried to run off with the dang thing still hanging out of her skin.

And she's eating, thank God, she's eating.

Congrats, CJ. Giving a shot to a cat, frequently, has got to be a challenge!
As far as running off with needles in, acupuncture patients do that all the time :)
I hope your furry sweetie does OK...

Thank you! She's a very good patient, and I'm getting a bit better at my side of things too. (In particular, I now put down the bait -- um, I mean kitty treats -- in a CORNER so she doesn't have any obvious direction to saunter off.)
