Sarah, I also had to inject my tummy with blood thinners (only once a day, unlike your twice) for two weeks after my pelvic fracture surgery last year. I found that if I numbed up the area really good with an ice cube ahead of time, I barely felt the injection. But no, it's not fun. Just proves that we are stronger than we realize when we can do it - I got many comments from friends who thought they'd never be able to do it. But, when push comes to shove, it's amazing just what we can do...

Thinking of you,
