I always knew cocktails were bad for you

So tonight was my new shot called the "stimulation cocktail". Here's a look at what we got to mix-up, needle-swap and inject away!

3 viles Bravelle
1 vile Lupron
1 vile water (to mix in Bravelle)
1 vile Lo Dose HCG

2 needles plus 1 needle head we switched out to inject
An alcohol swab
And a trusty hazardous materials container of our very own (for the discarded needles)
I was really nervous because this injection had so much more medication in it. Although I iced pretty well, it still hurt big time and bled for a while afterward. It was a difficult one for Rod too. He felt really bad that in addition to the needle puncture, even the injection of the medication was painful...and pretty much it never seemed to end.

Anyway, it's totally do-able. All of this is, for the results in the end. No side-effects as of 45 minutes into the meds, so keep your fingers crossed there aren't any (other than the big old headache that's become my new best friend).

Alrighty then, on to happier news - the 24 sneak preview was on tonight, thank you very much Jack Bauer. When Brandon and Brittany lived in Orem we had a little 24 party every week and had dinner and a treat. It was so much fun. We miss having them close by.

In honor of them (now watching in Kentucky), we continued our little ritual and I made some oatmeal heath-crunch cookies and Rod and I watched 24. It was a really good preview. I hate that it won't be on again until Jan. 11th. Oh well, something to look forward to!
