Between nine and ten this morning I attempted to enter...

The pool and it was still chilly although about the same temperature as the air.
Shade was still manifesting itself slightly on the pool's eastern side.
Hubby applied a water proof band aid to my peculiar eruption on my right shoulder for protection, which was more intense coverage than any creams I suspect.
But I so needed to go into the pool, as you all know it is all the exercise I can do.
So I worked with that and did accomplish my ROM exercises.
I spent approximately forty-five minutes in the cool waters at an eighty-five degree reading.

Once basically not so drippy from my bathing-suit I went in to shower as usual.
After was the fear of anticipation with me being on my own for the very first time having to give myself my injection; this one in the stomach, boy did I almost chicken out.
You see the injections have to be rotated using seven different locations and I chose to go in a clock-wise direction. Since the first day I did it in my right upper thigh my right side of my belly button was the next in that agreed upon method.
I decided to completely get dressed and determined how I would access my belly at the proper setting, to inject, since I wear sundresses it was easy to move it up and lower my undies to gain access, but since I decided to do it at the dinette table where I originally had been taught I took a large hand towel for modesty in case some one walked in or came to the door.
I did request for hubby to be my spotter or back up guy to make sure I did not miss any steps and he also didn’t realize he was my morale support!
I followed all the steps from washing my hands to assembling the injector checking the medication for discoloration or floating matter all was well and so it was installed into the trigger like system. Alcohol was applied to the target sight and left to dry and then the injector was placed where it belong pushed down and the doorbell trigger released and held till the count of twenty!
Success!
The needle was discharged into the sharps container all parts were cleaned with alcohol and put away until tomorrow!
Hopefully none of you have fainted from my graphic description.

The day today was fairly quiet I suppose you could call it a read-athon since Hubby and I read our library book selections most all of the day!

We called in dinner for chicken and salads and just finished a little while ago.
Lazy was our routine and name of the game today and we both shamelessly enjoy every moment of it.

On that note of utter joy I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!

Which way will the war go?
