Digest Number 468
I’ve really got to get the hang of addressing group forum messages again. (Jeff…. learn to be more concise, and save board message space too).

I was given the spring loaded injector toy maybe… a decade ago when I went to get a “tune up” (with the Joslin kittens in Boston NE Deaconess Hospital). Didn’t THINK I wanted/needed one, but one of the unit nurses checks your injection & testing procedures and asked ~…why I was taking so much time injecting…~ Apparently I was hesitating slightly. So they gave me that toy and I used it for a while until I didn’t need it anymore. I’m the fastest injector in the East these days ; D.
I can’t SEE my backside but with the “new proceedure” (ie no longer needing to check for blood we inject one way or the other), its only necessary to be sure the needle doesn’t bend while inserting it being as fine as it is…. but no alcohol is SOP now too. Don’t understand the logic w/ injections, but I get why we shouldn’t w/ the testing… <quick shrug

You lost me. Why no rotation for you? Butt & legs sounds like rotation to me??? What’s I miss? The last CDE I saw several years back told us of the latest new knowledge that LEGS were the ideal site for injections before NOON or directly around then, and the stomach was the best location for evening, bed…
He said that preliminary information was showing the best absorption from those specific locations AT those precise time frames. There was a direct correlation, that was being indicated.
I found that wild because that concept had been around for thousands of years in Asian medical theory (and still is). That certain times of day, certain organs were the most active…. I love it when things converge so nicely.
