So I had a thing today and it was unusual to the point that I called a nurse to verify I'd been given the proper dose.

I kept trying to explain to the nurses that things were different. Whoever did the injection today, it left me sore.

Now I feel frustrated. I feel frustrated because I feel like I bothered the nurses (I had to press the call button twice in the hour to get someone and I felt summarily dismissed about my concerns).

I don't think I was acting inappropriately or making outlandish requests - the first time it was to verify I'd been given the right dose and med. The second time it was to ask if I could be discharged early (by about twenty minutes). I know they were busy. Still, again, I was not rude.

I hate being made to feel like a bother. Plus I didn't recognize any of these nurses.

This wouldn't be so bad if my husband could go with me. But I have to try to advocate for myself while under the influence of this medication and that's harder than it looks even if it's not affecting me strongly (I wish I'd remembered the nurse's name who gave me the injection so I can request someone else do it next time - she did some stupid "slow push" with the needle - it took her like FOREVER to inject it - I was thinking "Hey lady, could you just effing do it already?").
