Talk about showing my age! It took me ten minutes to remember how to start a new thread!

Anyway, just did my first ever pin. Given gallons of blood before, so no fear of needles whatsoever, but you'd think I was trying to defuse a nuclear bomb the way my hands were shaking.

Pinned my outer thigh and surprise, surprise, it didn't really hurt (didn't hurt at all actually). I did wimp out a bit and only injected about 100ml this time. If I'm still alive after squirting this nasty stuff inside me I'll do about 500ml to front load in my other leg tomorrow!

Never done this before, so not sure whether to expect a bad reaction by tomorrow. I'm prepared for it, so if it don't happen, then that's a bonus.

If anyone out there is terrified of pinning and takes orals because of their fear then take it from me, it ain't that bad! . . . not yet anyway
