Blood Thinner shots?

[bellasmom 5]

Anyone else sent home with a 7 day supply of blood thinner shots? Just wondering if I am the only one I read it was rare to get sent home with them.

They have them to me in the hospital and had to do them 3 days on myself. Luckily my friend and neighbor is a nurse and I had her do them.
