- sgp_subq — how do you avoid hitting the same spot twice when the marks fade, writing this up so want it right — and do you aspirate subcutaneously or is that a leftover from somewhere else 18:06
abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month, slowly, always
noting a technique change i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice, marked on the calendar
i mark the site on a paper calendar because i genuinely cannot remember by thursday

bruising for me is purely luck about what is under the skin at that spot
stupid needle question does anyone actually rotate properly or do you all use the same two spots
