I Don't Want to Inject

Someone was exploring sublingual and oral B12 supplementation and wrote. “I don’t want to inject.”

I thought me either.

This led to me understanding how much I object to injecting. I object to not being able to just head out and only worry about clothes and food.

I am traveling a couple of days to be where the solar eclipse is going to be total. It will likely be cloudy but the earth will be lit in a unique day and I want to experience that. I have to bring my gear to inject and I object. I would go to Canada if that would be more fun. I would deal with crossing the border. I would object.

Knowing I need to inject is not the same as processing how I feel about at and grieving the loss including all the energy spent procuring and the pain when first starting. Including the loss going forward.

Good to have started that process.

Hi Wiz

I get the message.

I hope witnessing the eclipse will be the start of your new dawn. You are a beacon to many.

Enjoy and can’t wait to hear how you get on!

The amount of people that say to me 'Oh, I couldn't inject myself like you do!' My reply is that if you had a choice between death and injecting yourself which would you choose?

Enjoy the eclipse. I saw a total in Cornwall many years ago. It was totally surreal. When all of the birds flew over to their roosts, the wind that picked up at totality, the absolute silence. Then the dawn chorus as the sun came back. I can see why people in years gone by thought it was the end of the world!

I was there in Cornwall too! Incredible! All the birds roosted on the telephone wires. Unforgettable.

I was in Harpenden, Hertfordshire at the last one. An eerie experience.
