Shots, Shots, and More Shots. Not Alcohol Related.

Mark, Jonathan, and I are learning how to do the Arixtra injections so mom is not confined to Effingham. This way, she can go anywhere with one of us and be fine. My cousin Stacie came over yesterday and went over everything with Mark and I. Today, Mark attempted to do the injection. Mom started crying. She did not sleep well last night. I'm not sure if everything was just too much or if she was in actual pain. Needless to say, Stacie finished the injection. Tomorrow and Sunday brings mine and Jonathan's turns. I hope it goes better for us. I'm not a nurse-type person. I don't do blood. I don't do shots. I'm doing this because I love my mom and I want her to still be able to have a life. If she starts crying while I'm giving the injection, I'm not sure I can handle it.
