No, this is not about violence, it is about shots I give myself twice a day. In my stomach. They are shots of heparin, a blood thinner. I have a blood clotting disorder that normally doesn't affect me at all, but I'm pregnant and pregnancy definitely makes everything stand out.
Here's the thing, everyone told me the shots would get easier over time. Well, they have actually gotten harder. And worse. I have disgusting bruises all over my stomach and the skin there toughens up in places. My doctor told me I needed to give myself the shots in the legs. Well, if I could get the needle through the skin there and didn't massively bruise myself, this might be an option.
Oh well, there is only 21 1/2 more weeks of these!
