Good morning, all.

I've never had to self-inject.

(I learned how to administer subcutaneous fluids to a cat, my only claim to being able to use a needle.)

Like DR CHAS SMITH I have never had to self inject.

And I hope to escape it life goes on.

I only got an hour into it. 90 minutes to go.

And, yes, I am enjoying it.

They’re screwing around with the Internet connection here. Irritating.

TOD: I have to self-inject for my psoriatic arthritis and it's super easy, similar to what DR John G described.

Tonight I go to see Suffs on its national tour. I'm looking forward to it!

Listening to some hurricane coverage. Someone recommended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qitHKtkqN_w but I'm sure there are plenty of sites or channels covering it.

I cannot even begin to imagine a CAT-5, 180-200-mph hurricane.

I will be interested to hear DR MICHAELG's theeder repor on SUFFS.

MichaelG - if you see the cast, say hi to Jenna Lea Rosen - she grew up with Kritzerland - did her first show for us at eleven, back in 2011.

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

I got the recording of John Cassavettes’ Opening Night, which should be Rufus Wainwright’s Opening Night, from the library.

From DR John:

Quote

It was a Paloma. The grapefruit came from a can. The lime wasn’t good. The tequila was mild. They probably used agave nectar. There was something sweet in there.

It sounds terrible, even if you substituted something else instead of grapefruit which I dislike.

DR Singdaw, thank you for the health vibes.

I don't know if a neurologist would know about clear lungs. But thankfully, today was a much better day.

I figured being a doctor, yes. I guess that means you weren't checked. I'm glad you are much better today.

George, nice photos of your bathroom.

Jane · « **Reply #52 on:** October 28, 2025, 09:07:21 AM »

DR George, I like your new masks, and how you have hung up your mugs.

Jane · « **Reply #53 on:** October 28, 2025, 09:08:35 AM »

The masks look prettier in the second photo.

And speaking of chiming clocks (BK mentioned something about that last night), my mom has a few clocks that she doesn't want anymore, so I took one home. I don't yet know where to hang it, but I'll find a place. And here it is:

The clock is beautiful.

TOD:

I have had to give myself weekly injections for my diabetes. Everything is already set up in the pin, which looks like a tube. I place the tube on my stomach, unlock it, hit a button and several seconds later (about 5 or 6), it’s done. I don’t have to measure anything. I don’t have to deal with air bubbles.

Question for you. Do you pinch the skin on your stomach first or just leave it flat against your skin before pressing?

I started my first injection on my thigh and pinching the skin is not to be done with this injectable. It doesn't clearly state how to do the stomach and I have read mixed things about that. I think I shouldn't pinch.

Bruce, I suggest you find videos of the medication you will be using and watching a few.
