PIO Shot

We had our appt. with the RE yesterday. My lining was 11 which is great! The nurse showed us how to give the PIO shots. Stephen was so excited about giving the shot. He felt so confident this was something he could do.

So last night was the start of my PIO shots. He kept saying "I can do this, I know I can do this!" I had faith in him that he could do this. I mean really could it be that hard? HA!

We were sitting on the couch watching Lost. 8:45 rolls around so I get up, get the bottle of PIO, place it in a cup of hot water for about 5 min, get the alcohol wipe, bandaid, fill up the syringe, change out the needle, now I am READY! Stephen says to me "Now I am scared" WHAT? OMG! Really?

So we go into the bedroom and I am laying there with an ice pack on my butt trying to numb the area. It's now time to give the shot. Stephen says "okay I can do this", he takes the top off the needle (looses it) and I tell him it's already primed so he pushes it in more then WIPES IT OFF WITH HIS FINGER! WHAT? OMG so I tell him to wipe it off with alcohol since it now has his germs on it. He lost the friggin alcohol pad! So he runs to the kitchen to get another one comes back in and says he's going to do it. He puts his fingers on my hip and tries his best to stick me. He starts to freak out and says "I CAN'T DO IT I JUST CAN'T DO IT!" He's sweating and tears are running down his face lol! I tell him "GIVE ME THE FING NEEDLE" I take the needle from him, throw my leg across and stick the needle in! lol

From now on I will stick the needle in and he can pull back then push in the medicine. Screw letting him "try" to do this! Obvisoly he can not handle it. ha ha ha!
