Pulling the trigger

October 25 

We were instructed to give the HCG shot at exactly 8:45pm, not one minute before or after.   HCG is the medicine that makes you body release the eggs precisely 36 hours later.   This was going to be fun since we had dinner plans with friends that evening.  So that evening as we were getting ready to go out we made sure we had everything in our purse... lip gloss, money, id's, vial of HCG, syringe, and hypodermic needle... check check and double check.  This really had turned out to be a crazy ride.  When we got to the restaurant we set our alarm and waited for it to go off.  We could only hope that we were seated next to someone who was in on our little secret.  No chance!  We sat next to a couple we hardly knew.  When the alarm went off and we both got up and went to the bathroom, who knew what they thought?  

This gets better...  since it was the weekend before Halloween it was only fitting that we were in the bathroom line with a witch, a cat and one of the Scooby Doo characters.  We finally got in the stall and it was time for the shot.  It went okay after we stopped the bleeding.  Apparently we knicked a vessel on the way to the muscle.   After 15 minutes we joined our party and tried to pretended like everything was normal.   What a night!
