stupid needle question whats your sharps disposal setup, mine is a jar and i know thats wrong
i changed nothing except letting the swab dry and the stinging stopped completely, skip it if its sore
if a site is sore, i skip it and come back in a fortnight rather than pushing through, thats where i landed
dont recap
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for, not instruction, just habit
count to three
ok that makes sense, hot and sore is different
