I have my pump!!!!!!!!!!

By JennyO2216 Wednesday, June 09, 2010

Hey everyone guess what. I just got my pump on, on Monday. It was really the thing you get nervouss. The class was seven hours and a half. There were only three families including mine . well in the class we learned how to use it how to change things. I thought that we would just learn and start to use the pump another day. No before we left for lunch they told us that we would put the set on and start to use the pump. Then we had to go back to the class. Well the lady started at the back and it was a guy she started with well put the set on and says " Ow That hurt so much"  He got me so nervous that i started to shake, but the thing is that i was next. well she got to me and so i put it on and it didn't hurt that much. I'm so happy i finally got it on.

Jenny that is awesome!!!

 

Good job for getting over the fear of the infusion set injection part. Every once and a while it might hurt a little more because you'll just hit a sensitive spot, like the way that happens with syringes sometimes, too.

 

Keep us updated!

 

So proud of you for being so patient!

That's great news!

I used ice for a while to numb the site before I inserted the set, this might help you too?
