1 Shot X 2????
May 5, 2008
I haven’t posted anything in a few days, so I thought I would tell a funny story. We’ll, it’s funny now, but at the time it wasn’t funny at all.
On the second day of giving Kyla her progesterone shot in the rear, I had my technique down pretty good for sticking the huge needle in with minimal pain. The progesterone is a pretty thick oil, so it takes me quite a bit of effort to push it through the syringe and into the muscle of Kyla’s phanny. I was pushing and pushing and Kyla didn’t scream from any pain or complain about the way I was doing it. I got done with the shot and I counted to 10 before I pulled out the needle. We rubbed the injection site vigorously and then Kyla sat down on her heating pad for about 15 minutes.
I told Kyla to sit tight and I would clean up all the stuff and dispose of everything in the appropriate containers.
Well, when I grabbed the syringe and started to remove the needle I think I said, “OH CRAP…I ONLY GAVE YOU 1/2 OF THE MEDICATION!!!!!!”
Thankfully, Kyla didn’t run over and try to strangle me to death, since she had to sit on her heating pad for another 10 minutes or so. She was very understanding of my error and knew I felt horrible for what I did.
At any rate, we had to give her the shot again to administer the rest of the medication.
Gaylord Focker…you’re Fired!!!!
Moral of the story… Always make sure to look and see if all the medication is out of the syringe before I pull it out.
