175! And counting...

Good evening to all; and how are we all doing tonight folks?
Your answer should be great; why you say?
Isn’t this the day that everyone calls TGIF?
You all know that’s true at least it used to be in the day when I too was a working stiff!
That number of 175 is how many friends are in my latest FB tally!

And for any of you who were around for my good wishes to you all of me writing on your IM’s the sentence, ‘TGIF if you so wish’ earlier today on the Facebook I’m just wondering why no one answered? I do know that this was in no way offensive!

I suppose most were busy conducting business online, which I am sure most of you do all day long… being in the technological age and all and networking this way as it is.
I could tell you all such stories of the time of BC, not before Christ folks, before computers of course! LOL
We had to use landlines and piles of books to scour to find information or peoples accounts page by paper page! How barbaric!
Then around 1982 the home computer made the idea of having your own system feasibly easier for all who cared to try. That was a lightening bolt to the evolution of these current technologies we all use and occasionally curse at daily due to malfunctions, some things never change! LOL
We all pay this money for an easier better way to accomplish our work and there it goes or doesn’t the way you expect it to. Ah and this is the way life continues and we all get stories to pass on to our families to laugh at wholeheartedly or not!

Today I finally learned the proper way to inject my new medication, Copaxone, into me, in other words the nurse arrived an hour later than she thought, but to her good she did call to let us know she was going to be late.
At eleven forty this morning she arrived and she stayed until one thirty.
Hubby also was willing to try the dry runs on the ball shaped test dummy for injecting purposes. We both did pretty well and if we forget how since it is in an automatic injector not just a normal syringe so it is more complicated then just aiming and shooting there is a step by step picture book to show you exactly how.
The set up alone takes a few minutes to install the injection into the nearly gun like injector, since it does have a trigger like button, which she called a doorbell. The injection itself that goes into it does look like the typical ones that most are familiar with.
When I did get the chance to finally get the real dose of medication into me I did it correctly!
Holding the plunger down for the count of twenty otherwise the medication will shoot into the air or everywhere other than where it should go!
Hopefully by this time next week after one week’s worth of injections I will begin feeling confident in doing it, but tomorrow I will be doing it myself and I am a wee bit nervous.
Of all the horrible reactions to the medication I had the smallest a slight burning sensation, which to me was just great!
Since the other possible ones are rather frightening.

Who can complain all went well, and this medication can keep me from needing to go into the hospital for any relapses and that is a wonderful thing!
Good night to all and to count your blessings and we will too!
