Beep, beep, beep, beep, oh that was the all to usual sound of the alarm. I turned over and thought if I ignore it it will go away, and it’s not really happening anyway, I must be dreaming. No such luck. I sat up and flung the covers off,” ARRRHHHH,……….piss off” I shouted. I really didn’t want to get up today. Ohhhhh this is going to be a struggle, my eyes were stinging and my head was pounding , I was cream crackered. I think I was totally exhausted from all the excitement yesterday.
This part of the day was beginning to feel like groundhog day. We got up and both went in our separate directions. Me to the loo and Ross to the kitchen, to put the kettle on, then we pass each other on the top of the stairs, Ross to the loo and me to the kitchen. Its groundhog day !!! I opened the fridge to retrieve my drugs, you see that’s where they live, in the vegetable drawer, next to the grapefruit and cucumber. I did the usual and got the syringe ready and Ross came in to do his morning duty. “STOP………..wow, wow wow, just a sec”, I had just remembered we had been given a needle inserting tip from a lady at the hospital, to stop it from stinging. Right………hold on, what was it? Now she said something about turning it or something. Hummmm, right give me a sec to wake up a bit. “Ok babes, that’s it………….turn the needle so that the hole is facing up towards me, and insert.
Well what a difference. I didn’t even feel it, ha…how funny, something that simple and it really works. So that is why it hurts sometimes and not others then. How brilliant. I was so chuffed that I high fived Ross……….hehe…….how sad am I? I high fived my husband at our age.
What a break though that was. I am so glad I remembered that tip and I am so glad I met that lady at the IVF unit, and most of all I am so glad it works because I had to collect some more needles when I was up at the hospital because mine are running out, and blow me they only had ones that are 2 sizes bigger in both bloody directions,
Fatter and longer.
