Blood Clot and Giving Shots
My wife just developed a spontanious blood clot in her superfical femoral. The Mother F**king E.R. missed it too. 
I have to give her 5 shots of Lovenox (enoxaparin sodium injection) as well as she is now on cumiden (sp?).
Tonight I gave her the shot in her left abdomen. She complained of some pain during and after the shot. She can be a whimp when it comes to pain. But to make sure I'm not screwing up I figured I would ask you all.
Here is a pic of the syringe I used. I disinfected the area and placed the needle about half way in at a 45 degree angle.
What tips do you have for giving shots?
