I found a bubble, no I found a lot of bubbles. This afternoon I went for a tour with my wheelchair along the river searching for bubbles as well as ducks. One bubble seldom comes alone and this boat made quite a few.
Otherwise I really have nothing to say about bubbles, although a glass of cola straight from the fridge is quite appetising with all its bubbles and everything.
There is a bubble problem if you have to inject as I do. The syringe arrives complete with a liquid. I have to mix a powder with the medicine into the syringe and then I am ready, but not quite. Injecting air into your body is not advisable, it can cause an embolism which is apparently not very good. So I mix the medicine and am ready and what do I see? An air bubble is trapped at the bottom of the liquid, but no problem. According to the doc, it would need more than a bubble to cause harm, but I should still tap the syringe to move the bubble out of the liquid. This is easier said than done. There seems to be a magical tap that does the job. After two years of regular injections every second day, the bubble still sits where it is every time I prepare the syringe. However, I continue to inject undaunted and am still alive to talk about it. How can anyone write about a bubble? I did it.
And a very unique post at that. I once had a friend stung by a scorpion. I had the anti-venom but feared injecting it, afraid of injecting a bubble! I ended up throwing the syringe away and taking her to a pharmacist who luckily had the antivenom. You are more courageous than I am!!

It is not so bad. It would need a lot of air to cause damage. A small bubble is no problem and when you invert the syringe the bubble goes to the top of the syringe and exits on the surface of the skin.

Nobody can find any of my veins so i don’t get shots except into muscles. It’s not that I don’t HAVE veins, just that they are tiny and collapse when someone says “needle” in their presence.
I remember bubbles from watching “Sea Hunt” as a kid. Loved the sound the bubbles made as they escaped to the surface.

I have to inject into the muscle, straight down. No big problem, but sometimes I might meet a nerve on the way, or a blood vessel. It’s a long needle
