Shot #9 - Hepatitis Message Board

Doone · 07-19-2003, 02:33 PM

Number 9, number 9 . . . reminds me of the old Beatles song on the "White Album" . . . back in the good old days when I was young and wild and care free. Heh-heh. Anyway, #9 went well. I smelled it again and no scent was present. I did slip and accidentally pulled the needle out before administering the shot, so I had to move to another site. I had not done that before. I thought I was getting good at this because I didn't even get out my instruction card this time. I didn't eat well this morning and I felt ill when I arrived at a cookout today. Once I ate, I felt fine though. I still have a hell of a bruise from last week's shot. It doesn't hurt. Anyway, all's well that ends well. I am tired, as usual. I have to go and pack some more. I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Take care and God bless,
Lorna

Eating good is as important as drinking water and avoiding alcohol. The drugs increase your metabolic rate so you usually require a lot more calories or you will notice marked weight loss. I sure did during Rebotron. And the loss of energy from skipping good food with all your activity can bring on spells of flu symptoms.

Don't bother whiffing the solution anymore, sounds like it has no odour to it at all. It takes some time to learn how to inject properly.

Number 9 is a favorite of mine, too. If only we knew then what we know now. C'est la vie!

Hope your move goes well.

Hi Lorna, Glad # 9 went well. I'm off to the VA tomorrow and finally see a new dr. The last visit was in Jan. Will post the news when I get back. Hope your move goes smoothly.............Diana, I haven't forgotten your banana pudding recipe, it's a long one and I'll try to post it this week.

Haven't forgotten your mention of the banana pudding
recipe, waiting patiently (one of my virtues). We are all such busy people nowadays, aren't we.

Thanks for remembering. Looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks Diana, You are right. I had the worst flu symptoms ever on Saturday night. I have been extremely tired and like a lead weight yestrday. I feel a bit guilty, but I didn't even pack one box.

Jeanie, Good luck at the VA. Hope all is well and all goes smoothly in your favor! I can't wait to hear the news!

Take care and God bless,
Lorna
