Louvenox Shots

[BowlingHooker 60]

The worst part of my day comes twice a day when I have to give myself blood thinner shots. I dont like needles but my family cant do it either so I have to shrug off the fear and shoot myself twice a day.

Did everybody have to do this? I have to do it for 2 weeks.

I had to for 4 weeks. I have a blood clotting disorder.

I have a clotting disorder so I did it about 2 wks pre op then in hospital Iv heparin then 2 weeks post op. not fun but I was terrified of a clot. It stings and isn't fun. Try to just be very matter or fact and do it..don't rub or touch the site afterwards and won't bruise( or as bad). Gave tons to my patients but I didn't truly appreciate how they felt til I was doing if myself.
