I started the Copaxone today...

I called the Shared Solutions number before I did my shot b/c I knew that you inject it differently than you inject Rebif. Good thing I did b/c I would have hit muscle if I had injected the way I used to. Since I can't pinch more than 2 inches I have to stick the needle in at a 45degree angle. Then you grab your area, insert needle, let go of the skin you grabbed then slowly inject the medication. It didn't hurt to do it even though the needle is significantly larger than the old needle and the med didn't burn going in. Good things. It did leave a big ole welt on my leg, which is normal apparently, and it burned and stung for a bit aferwards. I just know I won't wake up feeling like poop so I can deal with welts and stinging. This shot was left leg. I need to keep track for sure again b/c I have to do one a day and can't do it in the same spot twice in 7 days. Supposedly. I also learned that your stomach counts asd one area, can't split it in 2 like Rebif lets you. And the chick said don't inject into stretch marks. Yeah uh huh. Have you seen my stomach? ;)

I've done more work on the house. Most of the office/scraproom/guest room is done. I need curtains and more pillows b/c I changed the bedding. Also I need a piece of narrow furniture for the tv and printer, also for whomever stays to put their clock or glasses or whatever. I'll find it. I'm still looking. I also need to find the camera battery charger. I have no clue where that is.

Busy busy busy I am. I need to make a list for each room and hang it in it so I can cross it off when I do something. I'm starting to efeel overwhelmed. I think I have ADHD b/c I can't stay focused on one thing to save my life.
