Marlene - I'm very impressed that you can give the injections to your husband. Sounds a bit scary.....and I know my 80yr old Mom wouldn't even try!
It's really good to know that home injections are a possiblity, since I might be able to find someone to do it. Was your husband certified as home bound by Medicare?
When my Dad was in the hospital, they wanted to certify him, but because he sometimes goes to the grocery store with my Mom (using the cart for a walker ), they said he wasn't home bound.
Thanks so much for all the information!
