DW was much happier with tonight's injection as it didn't hurt at all. I suggested she used an ice cube to numb the spot, she wanted to go with the coin-in-the-freezer trick. I gave her the big scientific speech about how the metal wouldn't be cooled enough by a domestic freezer and would absorb heat too quickly outside the freezer. She tried both and I won. I realise that others have used the coin trick, but I still demonstrated my worldy manliness so that's all that matters .

Personally, I don't have any problems administering the injection. I just head off at 8.30, get it all prepared, swab everything, then in and out. As it doesn't bother me I might as well be the one doing it, and it means that in some little way I can help take the pressure off her as she doesn't need to think about it at all or take any responsibility. It's the least I can do seeing as it's my bloody swimmers that got us here in the first place.

PS. Ellie, it would make a good photo I reckon! Which reminds me I might try and sort a couple of photos and figure this gallery thing out. I've enjoyed looking at other people's photos, and particularly those from here who have uploaded or added a webpage link to their profile or whatever. Maybe I'm just a creepy voyuer or something
