All alone here tonight and just did my MTX injection. This is the first time I've been alone after my injection. Hubby is away in Montreal looking at a franchise opportunity.
I know I'll be fine but feeling unnerved.

Really hate these drugs. So sick of the routine.

Anyone have a good joke to keep me distracted?

What do you call a fish with no eye ?

Fsshh

What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

Pumpkin PI

That should get things started!

Groan nipper, but made me chuckle! Well done! Thanks

My husband's the one with the jokes. I'm more of a situational smartass, I guess.

Indy, can you find some trashy old movie to watch that you'll love and he would hate? Make yourself something for dinner that he can't even abide the smell of? Call a girlfriend to go out for dessert?

Ugh going out when I'm dizzy isn't an option, but I've set myself up with some treats and I'm curled up on the couch, watching a movie and playing iPad games. And chatting with you fine folks!

How about renting Like Water for Chocolate. Not what you ordered, but a gem of a film! The magic realism will get you thinking less about RA and more about the bizarre!

Hugs to you.

Indy, you will be alright. Nipper, I like your jokes. Made me laugh. Thanks.

Your jokes gave me a good laugh, Nipper.

Hi Indy, how did it turn out? I know you did well. It is so hard to stick oneself. I was on MTX injections for a while and it was no fun. Was so glad when I was taken off.

Nipper thanks for the joke. We need more humor around here! I am certain it helped Indy.

Oh Indy, I meant to put that you can actually ice before and or after if necessary to make the site feel better.

How about some music that you like playing in the background.

deleted_user 03/22/2014

Just checking in on you. How did the shot go? Hugs.
