How you know it's getting old

When you fumble with your syringe and it lands, uncapped, needle down, on a carpet covered in dog fur - and you just pick it up, blow on it and shove it in anyway.

Well, either it's getting old, or I'm just really, really lazy. Probably the latter, but hey - a little dog fur never hurt anybody.

ACK! Helen! Oh, my. I do hope you don't end up with an infected injection site. Are you feeling any better at all? You're on my mind.

Giggle, giggle. I would probably do the same thing.

I've never posted here before but often read and really enjoy your blog. I have to say this post made me laugh right out loud. I can relate.

Ha ha to make matters worse, I probably would have licked the needle, like you lick a needle before pumping up a basketball....haha maybe not, but that is what went through my head when I read this!

I love reading your blog! It is such a source of strength to read about others who are going through similar circumstances. I too have recently started a blog about my journeys with RA @ http://madrewithra.wordpress.com/
Hope you'll stop by. Keep up the great writing!!

My alcohol wipes expired 2007-01. Is that worse than a dog hair syringe? Probably not. You have to laugh
