what's cookin' gentleman?
anywho...this morning i was preparing for my daily injection. all went fine from the get-go: loading the syringe, aspiration & smooth injection. as i was withdrawing the needle from my quad, i'm always on the lookout for blood, gear seeping out of the injection site, etc...all for precautionary reasons & to satisfy my obsessive compulsivness.
as i pulled the needle out of my quad...a stream of blood resembling a shot from a water gun, came shooting out...onto the floor, shower rug & even my shower curtain. i nearly jones'd out just from the site of blood spritzing from my leg. don't get me wrong...i've had blood come out of the sites before..but nothing to this magnitude. i covered it up quickly with a few swabs & massaged for about two minutes. the bleeing stopped, but now i have a very tender feeling in the area of injection approximately the circumference of baseball.
i'm certain i knicked a vein on the way in/out, but should i pose any type of concern? infection? i showered immediately after & cleaned the area thoroughly both pre & post injection.
