to i havent been on because i havent been able to type the last 3 wks or so. here is the story i know you might laugh i did afterwards but it really isnt that funny. sorry if this is long


ok so i was changing my daughters epi pen out from old to new. and anyone who has seen these knows that they auto inject. well i was tired hadnt been sleepin of course and runnin around crazy tryin to get stuff done was home late from work and it was her first night of school anyways im tellin her how important it is to not play with epi pens and that she had to take it straight to the nurse and not show anyone.

well not even 3 sec later i hit the release button and the needle part was right up next to my right thumb up to the skin. well the needle injected into the thumb and straight into the bone.!!! i was screamin bloody murder and my husband was in our room and said it sounded like a tire exploding. well short story he had to use pliars to pull it out. and i got have the injection of epi and it almost killed me because of my heart issues and the med interacted with the med i take for my heart and cluster headaches so its been fun. spent 2 days in the hospital and almost lost my thumb becuase epi can eat the tissue away if its not a fatty area and thumbs arent fatty LOL but i will be able to keep the thumb been havin to keep nitro on it to get circulation. but rsd is unforgiving.

pew that was a book in a have. so i am sorry that i havent posted much been reading tho. i hope that everyone is doin ok
