Today I'll be learning how to turn my body into a pin cushion. Yep, today is our education day. We'll be dragging that big ol box of medicine to Louisville with us. They'll take each med and tell us what it's for and how to administer it. I still can't believe that I'm going to be giving myself shots. Every night. For around two weeks. Wow! I know everyone says this, but I really hate needles! It doesn't help that I read about one persons experience who said her stomach turned into cottage cheese after a while and she had big bruises everywhere. Add that with the discomfort of the multiple eggs growing in your ovaries. You know what else I read about that person? They got pregnant. Their first time. With twins. I have so many mixed emotions. I'm excited. So so so excited, but I'm NERVOUS. I've been so tempted to go bust one of those needles open and just get the first prick over with. Of course, I can't do that because then I'll run out of needles.
Now I am prepared for everyone in the office to think I'm crazy. I went through all the literature that they gave us. I found each medicine and tried to figure out what it was for and when I would be taking it. I then took a post-it note and stuck on the box of the medicine with which step it was and when I would be taking it....or stabbing myself with it. Whichever. I think I figured everything out except one. I'll go into more detail once I know for sure about everything.
Also today we will be taking a tour of the facilities. I'm really excited about this part, but pretty sure I won't remember it when I need to. Hhhhmmm.....will they think I'm a dork if I record it? lol.
I'll post pictures of my meds and what I'd rather be doing later. Gonna be late late late for an important date!
