Greetings from a stranger sending well wishes & good tidings for a full recovery.
I enjoyed reading your informative posts and being in the fight for our 2A rights.

Speedy recovery. I also speak from surgery experiences (heart), take people up on their offers. Folks want to help and give back, and it is easy to feel like you are burdening someone. Even if you just want a change of pace in company and have someone swing by for a little bit to shoot the breeze it really helps. Maybe not right away, but give it a week or so, it might be good, I know it helped me.

One bright side is you're probably not going to have to get up in the middle of the night to piss a few times. And you'd be ideal for long road trips. But I'm sure you'd rather have to deal with all that instead. Best of luck to you.

I think the offers are over-welling me. A little confused right now.

Small needle?

Insulin?

Do you use a pen, or the old fashioned thing?

I think it's a pen. Self contained and when it's empty I push really hard and a cover pops up over the needle. They say it's for preventing blood clots.

Man, that's rough. You get better buddy! I can bring you some BBQ if that helps. Ribs, Tri tip or whatever your flavor is. :thumbsup2:

On paper that looks great but I'll wait a month or so when I can really appreciate what good flavor is suppose to taste like.

Did I mention my stomach looks like Freddie Kruger got a hold of it?
Two surgeons and Robbie the Robot worked on me.

I asked because I use the insulin pens.

A lot of people have problems using them, and if you did and did... I could have given you a few pointers. :bigsmile:

I don't know if your 'pens' are anything like what I use.

As for the pain... I have found that if I go slowly, and 'spin', or roll the pen, while inserting, it is less painful. Nurses look at me and ask the same question every time. "Doesn't that HURT?" No. But it DOES hurt when you are rude, and reach over and just tap the thing right on in! Even bleeds more often than not, if I do it the way they are taught, and try to teach us. But it never bleeds when I do it my way.

Further... Sometimes it does start to hurt, and I have found that 70% of the time, or better, I can just slightly tilt the entire thing, and it slides past whatever nerve I happened to find in that spot.

Trust me, the bed would be a lot wetter than if a little kid did it. :ROFLMAO:
