I just gave myself my first shot! I have to have an injection each day to help prevent blood clots and up until today DH has given them to me. Today DH wasn't around so I decided to try it myself and it wasn't too bad.

I went to church today for the full 3 hour block. We just moved to the 11:00 a.m. time slot so I didn't have to rush too bad to get everyone ready for church this morning. (I managed to fit into one of my skirts even with my brace around my midsection, so maybe that means I have lost some more weight.) I felt like I should be there since it is the first Sunday of the new year and everyone is in the process of figuring out what classroom to go to and who their teachers are. I felt fine until Sacrament Meeting when I started getting really tired about halfway through and had a hard time keeping my eyes open. Unfortunately I can't do too much with either MJ or Kay if they act up during church since I can't pick them up. We managed to survive alright though. I had DH drive us home afterwards because I wasn't sure if I trusted myself on the road (even though we only live about 3 blocks away from the church). Everyone was surprised to see me there today and I had so many people come up to me today and tell me that I looked really good and that they liked my hair. A couple of people didn't recognize me at first because of my wig. Later on this afternoon we will be heading over to my parents' house for New Year's dinner.
