| I had my first gusher sitting in the C.D.E.'s office. I had just completed my pump training and was putting in my first site using live insulin (she had me practice with saline for a week).
I put in the site and it HURT. Here I am feeling like a baby and not wanting her to think I'm a wimp... couldn't take a little pain. Finally I thought, this isn't right, it hurts. So I said something, and she flicked the site with her finger... like the annoying kid in the 4th grade does to the person who sits in front of him's ears. I saw stars!
She told me to take the site out. And when I did it bled all over the place. I reached for a pile of napkins that were on her desk, she, a medical professional was appaled at my lack of hygine, and applied pressure with an alcohol swab. @#$!! I'd honestly have preferred the napkins.
