Hi, couch. Been busy.

Well, I survived my 2 weeks off from CVS....I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning every night and slept all day. lol This week has be fine too.

I finished my educational technology course. It was fun. I am back in another coaching one now. Ewwww. I have a horrible learning team again. They only want to communicate via text instead of the team classroom. I spoke against doing so and they forgot to remove me from the group text when they called me names and made rude comments. I screenshot my phone with those texts and sent it to the professor as proof that it happened because when i posted to the team forum about it, they denied it. *sigh*

I just got back from pdoc. Sort of kind of got my first Aristada injection today. We had some technical difficulties. Pdoc prepares the injection, sticks me with the needle and it won't inject. He apologizes and says we will have to start over. He switches out the needle and pricks the other side, still will not inject. He starts mumbling curse words at this point. He apologizes once more, pulls out the needle tries to push the plunger on the syringe without it in a muscle...it goes everywhere (probably about half the syringe). He curses again and digs in his desk drawer for another needle (as he had already used the 2 that came with the medication), apologizes and says we need to try one more time. He switches out the needle. Pricks me once more and injects what is left of the syringe. So, as I said...I sort of kind of got my first injection...not sure how much medication actually made it into my muscle.

Pdoc said he already did not like Aristada. He said I was the third patient it would not inject on. I told him to call the drug company an let them know of the flaw in the needle or whatever. His response, but what if I am doing something wrong? Then I will look like an idiot. My thought to myself: Swallow your pride.

So, I got pricked 3 times to get about half my medication. Joys.
