Injection Day – a poem
By Tessa Dean June 2020
Injection Day, wrought with fear,
As the doctor readies his gear.
Cleanse the spot to be injected,
We don’t want to become infected.
Anesthesia administered prick by prick,
Ow! Then comes the final stick!

My name is Tessa Dean and I am an author and blogger. My writing styles vary and I love writing using prompts.
I am also writing my first book, a Memoir entitled "Government Property - A Memoir of a Military Wife". This is being published on the blog rather than the traditional way. I am putting up chapters as I go along. I keep my blog filled with useful content, stories, and poems. Plenty to keep you busy. I have also been interviewed by blogs and had other posts published on many different blogs. I also wrote a series of articles on Bipolar Disorder for IBPF (International Bipolar Foundation).
I am in my 60’s and disabled which allows me plenty of time to write to my heart’s content.
I live in southern New Jersey and have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. My oldest grandchild is a Sargent in the United States Marine Corps.

I used to be terrified of needles. After many years of dealing with it, it’s old hat.

I used to be terrified as well. I would run away and when I got older I would stay, but cry and embarrassed my dad all the time. Now I am using insulin and so I prick my finger 4-5 times a day and used insulin injections until I got a pump. Now I just have one injection every 3 days to insert the cannula used to transport the insulin into my body. However the injections of steroids are quite painful and you have 4 stings of local anesthetic before each one. I have gotten much better at it.
