One down

Well....the shot was NOTHING like I had imagined it to be! Completely painless, totally easy, I worked myself up about it for no reason. I tend to do that though, lol! I will post the video when I get the chance.
Jonas and I have put the first piece of our puzzle on the wall! After I cut up the picture into the 24 pieces it was DAMN hard to put back together to number them! It made Mom and I laugh. I expect a 3 year old to do what challenged me! Too funny. He doesn't really get it yet. He asked if I was all better and not sick anymore because I took my medicine today. He'll figure it out soon enough.
Now to wait out the side effects. I took a Tylenol so should be relatively alright. If all I get is the flu symptoms, I will be happy since that's better than wanting to jump off the High Level bridge (a patient seriously had to be talked down) or committing a crime and having my specialist testify in court that I was under the influence of potent drugs (that too has happened!). I have to make it one month and hopefully I test negative at 4 weeks. That way I am only on the drugs for 24 weeks. If I am still positive then, it changes the game plan a bit but it doesn't knock me out of the game! Negative at 4 weeks, negative at 4 weeks! That's my new mantra!
Now to sleep. Since all of it is done and the anxiety that kept me awake last night and going all day today is gone, my body has decided to let me be tired! Mom and Jonas are making Jello shapes so I can go snooze!
Ooooh, and anyone who knows me will laugh at this one! I get my very own bag full of goodies like a journal to track how I'm feeling and where I injected, a travel bag for the drugs with a freezer pack for short trips, a water bottle, a step by step for how to do the injection! I am so excited about it!! I know, I'm a dork LOL!
Somehow I think my post tomorrow will be a tad different...
