B sting

[cjsmith]

Injecting myself is definitely getting easier.

First time, I had a lovely fuchsia splotch on my arm. The B12 goop is BRIGHT RED, and it never occurred to me that it could be seen as it perfuses through the tissue. That's finally mostly faded today. Second time, though, almost no splotch. I think I got it deeper in.

Napa today, I think.

I think I could eventually do it, but I'm happy to not have any motivation to do so...

Sounds like you're pretty good at this. I never got good with my cat, although I got *slightly* better over time. S'why I'm not a vet, I guess...

I'm really lucky with Duchess. She honestly doesn't seem to feel it at all, and she comes trotting over for the treat I put down. I suspect if I had a cat who didn't like the sting, I'd have a lot more trouble.

Shows how far you've come, that you can stick yourself at all. Way to go, habibti.

I'm really amazed. I still shake like a leaf in the wind when I do it, but I do it. I hope my hands get steadier over time -- it'll sting less. :-)
