Day 2 of Injections

I was going to play a trick on Brad today and when he gave me a shot pretend to freak out and scream and such... But I decided it was too early for that. It would probably knock all his shot giving confidence away... But I prepared the shot and cleaned my skin and pinched where I wanted and then he walked in and I gave him the shot and he stabbed me. It hurt more this time. He said its because of how I was pinching my skin. I think it's because he did it slower... Who knows. It really wasn't that bad though. Giving blood hurts 10x more than these shots.

I've been surprised a little bit with how relaxed and ready I am for all of this. I'm sure God is assisting me in feeling peace. I've been working extra hard at not allowing stress in my life. Saying No to extra projects, not trying to fit in so many things, etc. I've been reading books more, and that has helped a lot. I'm not sure if Brad is enjoying the laid back, relaxed, don't do anything stressful me. But he'll get what he can take. :) I'm trying to keep my house clean and not let it get overwhelming because that is a huge source of stress, when it gets super dirty.

I created a chart that shows how many days of the process, how many shots of each medicine, etc. that way each night I can check off a day. It's a nice way to feel like I'm making progress and getting closer to the end result.
