Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hi all My computer is partially fixed.....as in I bought a new keyboard. But I have 1018 emails to read! So I'm not going to get through them all. If anyone was trying to reach me and didn't put my name in the subject, please let me know. I've been thinking about emailing this question for a couple of weeks now. Adam (for those of you who don't know) is 11 1/2 years old. He's been on GHT for 3 years. Some weeks he'll go through a bout where he does his own needle (with inject ease) and we'll go months where I will do it. The last couple of weeks I have had this horrible panic attack each time I give him the needle. I am fine putting it in, as usual.......but when it comes time to remove it from his leg.......I freeze! I get all freaked out and I can't pull the thing out!! I do it real slow, and it seems to me I can *see* the skin still stuck to the needle rising up......and I get all weird. I end up giving him a bleeder and subsequently a bruise. How can I inject my son on a nightly basis for 3 years, without an inkling of a problem, and now it is bothering me to pieces? I told him at his last needle, I think he's going to have to take over for awhile but what kind of example am I setting? That this is too 'gross' for mom??? that's not right. Anyone else have this feeling? Or am I just going crazy " real " fast???/ Thanks\ Debby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
