About every 2 weeks the meds in G-Girl's Genotropin pen run out and I need to change the cartridge. I have done this a handful of times already so you'd think I know what I'm doing. Well, I don't.
It's not as easy as it seems. Well, it is easy but there are a bunch of steps and I am still not familiar with them all. This must be a common problem because the company includes a step-by-step cartridge changing "placemat." It's pretty helpful-- if you have it. We no longer have ours because it didn't make it home from the infirmary at summer camp. I called our Pfizer Bridge representative, who was pleasant as always (no sarcasm at all, she really is nice) and a new placemat should be in the mail. In the meantime...
I botched it. Again. I got it to work reasonably well but something feels kind of off. I hate injecting my kid with a pen that I may have loaded incorrectly, but I am pretty sure that I mixed it correctly and she's still getting the correct dose. It looks like there's a lot more air in there than there should be, even though I did the remove air tap tap maneuver. Sigh. It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another.
