Angie & Twin-Rex
Well, it seems like this is the month of Hospital visits. On Friday I found out that my friend Angie is back in the hospital awaiting surgery. She suffers from an extremely aggressive case of Chrons. They keep cutting out intestine thinking that they have got enough, but have yet been able to stop it. We all hope that this time is the final time she will have to go under the knife.
On a happier note, Alexis bet me that I could NOT give myself the Twin-Rex (hep a & b) vaccination needle. A bet she sadly made, and sorely lost! Unfortunately she did not like my technique as it was not "text book". This meant that she would not let me vaccinate her. Oh well. I think I'm going to write a book and title it "How to give a needle so that not a drop of blood comes from the hole and you don't even need a bandage".

Yes, we are all wishing Angie the best going in to her surgery. She seems to be in fairly good spirits, considering all she has had to go through with her Crohn's.
Blaine's report about the self-injection was quite accurate, though he left out the fact that the needle was intramuscular (into the muscle) and was 1 1/2 inches long. I have never in my life seen someone pierce the skin and slide a needle into their thigh so slowly as Blaine did...and he fails to realize people don't normally bleed after a needle anyways.
