Read the Label

My restart of my IV was a little interesting since I got the two mixed up.  One used to be three times a day and the other twice a day before we switched to the 24 hour system.  So, I restarted at three times a day which was fine until I ran out of medicine.  When I called my home care team, they couldn't understand why I could be out of medicine.  Well, I failed to read the label and was only supposed to be taking it twice a day.  It might account for the weird symptoms and waking up a lot.  Of course, it took us a little bit to figure this all out.

When we switched to the right schedule, my drug level was still high in my system.  So, now we are down to one 24 hours a day and the other once a day.  It has been working pretty well except for a spell trying to access my port.  Apparently, it is better for me to lay down on the couch and not try to sit at the table.

I have also been trying to have a little fun.  My friend brought home a new baby a few weeks ago and I was planning to deliver her dinner.  Of course, I tend to plan a little too much in a short amount of time.  So, my aunt helped my daughter make dinner and gave me a chance to look a little more presentable.  Last week, she was back with my mom, my cousin and his family, and my sister and her cute girls.  One of my nieces loves to have dance parties in my basement and encouraged all of us to do the same.  It was really fun and it just isn't every day that you can get your relatives to dance to the Jackson Five.

This week, I have had some great last minute help from my mom, one of my friends who took my daughter to the library, and my other friend and her husband who make sure she feels right at home at their house.  Today, we are heading to the U and don't suspect to get done after a two week run.  However, it doesn't hurt to dream...

Blessings,
