I came home this morning at 7:00 after an early run.\u00a0 I walked with my son Tom to his bus stop, walked the dog and got ready for a shower. Before getting into the shower, while disconnecting from my pump, I noticed my adhesive was coming off. I was scheduled to change my infusion set anyway so I decided to take it out and just put a new one in after my shower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I got dressed and hurried to put my new infusion set in before taking Guy and Adam to school. I prepared the reservoir and set and when it was time to insert I got up, held my shirt up with my teeth and inserted the infusion set on the lower right side of my abdomen, a little towards my stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know why, but it killed. It hurt so much I wanted to scream and just pull it out. But I didn\u2019t. I figured it would pass in a moment and Guy was standing next to me telling me he was ready to go.<\/p>\n
Inserting a new infusion set is usually a little painful, although sometimes it just kind of slips right in with no pain at all. This time was different, it hurt so much it was hard to control myself.<\/p>\n
I put my shoes on, feeling terrible pain. It hurt when I bent down or moved to the side. It also just hurt. We went downstairs and walked to Adam\u2019s nursery school and then to Guy\u2019s school. \u00a0<\/p>\n
I was really in pain but thought it would pass soon enough. I was wrong. It didn\u2019t stop for a moment. When I got home I told Jessica what had happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019ve hit, but it kills,\u201d I said. \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s never hurt like this before.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo take it out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m waiting to see if it gets better. If it doesn\u2019t I\u2019ll take it out and put a new one in on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t get any better. It got worse. So after three hours of pain \u2013 serious pain- I removed the set (which wasn\u2019t fun with the new well-sticking adhesive). It took me an hour of being disconnected, to get the courage up to put in a new set on the other side. This time it was fine (normal pain).<\/p>\n
Now the pain is mostly gone but not knowing what caused it, what I hit, bothers me. It makes me worry that it I will do it again.<\/p>\n
