My Dear Hubby is temporarily banned from his IVF duties (drawing up shots)

I started the day once again waking my husband from sleep like he had just pulled an all- nighter. He got up and stumbled down the steps and proceeded to our official IVF lab (aka dining room table). I followed, lifted up my shirt, and swabbed the skin that didn’t yet know it was going to be raped by a sharp dagger that facilitates a psycho drug. As I waited I realized my husband was completely abusing the needle/syringe. He kept poking it in and out of the medicine stopper, out then in, in then out, once he got that situated no matter what he did he could not get the stopper to pull back and stop at 10cc. Then I noticed what the problem was…..he was doing the universal pee pee dance. Switching back and forth from foot to foot, fidgeting, twisting, etc. He FINALLY got 10cc out and proudly displayed the shot, passing if off to me quickly and then sprinting around the corner to the bathroom. It seems all the abuse gave me a needle that was pointing to 2 o’clock instead of noon. It was then and there that I decided I would be doing the injections for the time being. Its funny my husband has not mentioned one time about his duties being pulled. I am sure he thinks I am just doing him a favor, little does he know I am frightened by his nursing skills. On the bright side of things I now officially know my husband was NEVER a junkie.
