Highlights from this day
- ring_size_down — i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge, from memory 19:10
- cold_pack_carla — pinch, 45 degrees, count to five, withdraw slowly. two years and almost no bruising i mark the rotation in a notes app because the marks fade and i lost track twice 19:20
- ring_size_down — absorption differences between subcutaneous sites are small for a weekly compound, we shall see 19:29
- cold_pack_carla — abdomen two inches out from the navel, avoiding anything that has been injected in the last month 19:36
