So, I'm curious. How hard is it to inject yourself? Did you have someone else inject you or did you bite the bullet and inject yourself?

my husband or my daughter gives me my injections. I could have done them myself, but they wanted to help. I still have 6 more days of injections to go.

Is this standard??? I can't give myself injections. I cry when I have to use my epi pen.

I didn't have to give myself shots I got them while I was in the hosp. I was in for 2 days and I think I got 2 shots a day. It really depends on your doctor.

I didn't have to do blood thinners (except while in the hospital) and my doctor said only the patients with a history or a need which will be established in the hospital will take them. It is rare. If you do please monitor your Bms carefully. A black stool is a sign of internal bleeding. It is serious, don't blow it of as, it maybe because I am eating so little.
