#iv day

[love-sing-smile]

The ivig's been going for about an hour and I feel okay. I have 2 nurses today because my regular nurse can't be here tomorrow for the rest of the infusion, so she's training the other nurse. I'm tired and I kinda want to take a nap, but I'm going to eat and take my meds in a little bit.

Just got done with a 2 hour fluid infusion in the hospital. My chest hurts and I'm sleepy, and I think the chairs gave me a headache. Now I'm just going to watch something on Netflix and wait for dinner to be ready.

I'm not even close to being okay, but I have to pretend, even at my doctors office. I really want to go home, but I still have 3/4 of a bag left, and it drips really slowly. I'm glad my nurse is nice, and she's fine with it dropping slow so I don't get a headache. But it means I won't get my 3rd bag, which is saline and helps with the POTS.

3 doctors appointments in 3 days, 2 of them at least 60 miles away. I'm so tired. Today's IVs so I can rest a little bit, but I feel like I could sleep for 4 days straight right now.

I just spent the last couple hours looking for a hat pattern to knit for gifts for my dad and Josh. I was just going to make one for Josh, but I showed my dad the hat and he decided he wanted one! So I guess I'm knitting two hats! It'll keep me busy during IVs now that I can have my arms free!

There was a really bad accident on the freeway, and we're about half a mile away from it, but the entire northbound freeway is shut down. They're turning people around into the southbound lanes. Looks like I won't be getting my IV today.

Nope, don't like this being awake thing. Let me go back to sleep!

4 pokes later and I have a butterfly in my hand (which I hate) and I just want to go home. I really need this IV, but it hurts and I want to cry.
