Just shot myself with an epipen

[MandCmama]

So our Monday childcare situation still gets a tad dicey.  A new sitter is staring next week, so I was going through my normal spiel with her.  I was sure I had the trainer in my hand.  I did not have the trainer in my hand.  I shot myself right in the varicose veins.  I didn't even realize right away, b/c that part of my leg is so sensitive to begin with, I thought I just whacked myself too hard with the trainer.  Then I felt the blood running down my leg  Thank God the boys still use Epi Jr and I have 30 lbs to lose! My heart rate was only elevated for a few minutes ( I don't think I got the full dose b/c I reflexively pulled it out).

oh wow. 
are you okay?  I've heard of people doing this. 
Maybe give your dr a call and tell him/her what happened

Yikes!  I hope you're feeling okay now.

Well, now - THAT'S a monday morning.  Hope you're feeling well, still.

[momma2boys]

Oh no!  Well on the bright side, your sitter saw how easy it was and that it wasn't very painful!  Plus you got a little extra energy on a Monday morning.

Seriously though, glad you're okay.

Oh my!  I'm glad you're okay.

Glad that you ok!  With the new-style pens, the trainer and the real one look so similar.

You know, though, on the not realizing you did it at first front...when I had to epi myself with the new style pen, I was almost sure I was going to have to redo it, because it didn't hurt at all.  I still held it in for the ten seconds, just in case, and it had, in fact, injected - just no pain.  Of course, it could have been that I was distracted with the whole 'not breathing' thing.
