First injection done & a question

I'm such a dumb*ss.  I was in the bathroom opening the package at the counter and I thought to myself, this is almost $800 worth of medication, wouldn't that suck if something happened to it?!  Just then it slipped out of my hand, bounced on the counter and just missed the toilet bowl by an inch.  Thank god it was okay!

DH gave me the shot and everything went fine.  I'm sure I'll work up the courage to give it to myself soon.  Here's my question:  after he pulled the needle out, I noticed some medication came out too...is that normal?? 

Thanks again for all of the advice, it really helped!!

    My nurse said to keep the needle in for a few seconds before pulling it out.  That seemed to work for me.

    Glad the shot when fine and that your vial didn't break!  Good luck!

    I find it easier to give it to myself but it took some time before I could work up the courage to do so.  Glad to hear the expensive meds didn't land in the toilet!

    Oh my gosh I would have cried if I lost one of the vials! I'm glad everyone is safe and sound!
