My dad teaches medical students and nursing students how to do stuff all the time. (his hospital is a teaching hospital) I might ask him to show me how to inject into my thigh tomorrow night.

What angle do you have to aim the needle when you're injecting it manually? I seem to remember you had to have it angled to the side a little bit...maybe?

I wish I had a practice needle set that I could practice with like what the C nurse had.

I'm just glad that my dad and my aunt that lives across the street are both nurses. This is only the second time I've gotten my dad to inject me. I'm not letting him do my arm ever again, but at least since he did tonights shot and amazingly, a half hour later, it doesnt feel like a swarm of bees stung me, I might see if I can learn how to manually inject. Or, at least let my dad help me with it more often.
