Did the first shot last night. Giving it to myself was way easier than I thought it would be since I have a "thing" about needles. When I see them it tends to make me lay down on the floor...weather I want to or not. Such a wimp. As a nurse said one time...the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Anyway, that part went well. Maybe that will be a good thing abou doing treatment...I may get over my fear of needles.
I did the shot "my way". Went for an evening swim in the ocean instead of sitting at home and "waiting to do the shot". When I got home I was tired enough that I just wanted to get the shot over so I could go to bed. Worked out well instead of adding a bunch of drama to it.
Did the ribavirin this morning and went for a swim with my swim friends. My body was telling me that "something is going on". Felt better having done it, came home and had to take a nap but so far so good and keeping my fingers crossed.
Drinking GALLONS of water. I'm a water drinker but have been thirsty most of the day. Good think I already know where the bathrooms are at in most places :-)
