Today is Day One


Tomorrow I have a cath. change at 11:45, followed by my first Solumedrol infusion at
this new clinic, which I believe is in the same building at 1:40. I have a friend who is spending a few days with me who will go with me just so she has something to do. I'm sure it will make it go faster. So that's what's up with me, and now I am actually going to go to bed at 1:15 AM. I mean, I'll start to get ready as soon as I sign off here, but I should be in bed and, hopefully, asleep, by 2 AM.

Good Night and all that.

    Thanks for the good thoughts! First infusion done. I have baby veins and chubby arms. The third poke did it, in my right arm. I need to take a shower tonight, so they can hopefully get a good vein tomorrow and leave it in through Friday. I've already noticed a slight improvement, but I am starting to get a headache, so I took a Tylenol. I'll take another in 15 minutes if I notice no change.

    Glad it went well, although I'm sure you could have passed on the first two pokes! Sine I have the whine bring Brie! :)~ LOL

    Hope the headache passed and you manage to get some sleep!

    Dear Lord! I step away from your blog for a second (OK, could have been a month-ish, but who's counting?!?) and I read all about a fall in a hotel room (thought for a moment there would be some porn in THAT post!), firemen, a meeting, weak legs (again, oddly searching for inappropriate sexual connotations there), and finally STEROIDS! WTF?!? Oh, and I also see you finished NanoBlogoMontho or whatever it's called again...

    Girl, you are busy! I'm going to have to get back in my routine of blog reading to keep up with your travels and antics. I DO hope the sleeping pills cause sleep for you with the roids. You're in my thoughts...gentle thoughts.

no sooner had i written that last post than i came  down with a  fever and a raging case of cellulitis. needless to say i was admitted into the hospital the monday before thanksgiving and stayed until  the sunday  after. i did however order a turkey dinner on thursday, and they served a special dessert! since i came home, i haven't heard from my caregiver... so i called the office and spoke with her supervisor. it turns out that she was clocking  in and out all week! that's tantamount to fraud. don't know what'll happen to her. i have had two caregivers since. both i liked, but the first one lasted only one day, and the other hasn't had much experience. i'll give her a chance and we'll see what happens. good night, ttyl, and be well.

My MS Update 2017

Image
I entered last year celebrating by watching 'new year at the needle' fireworks display (The Seattle Space Needle) on a hospital TV.  I was in there from 12/27/16 to 1/3/17 with, I believe, cellulitis and a bladder infection.  I have been in the hospital several times since then, 5/19 to 5/22  with cellulitis. I didn't have any cuts so it must have been a cat claw poke or a bug bite... any break in the skin will do for those of us who are immuno-compromised. August brought me in hospital from 8.19  to 8/25 with the perfect trifecta -  cellulitis, vaginal and bladder infections. So, how am I doing? you might ask. Well,  36 years with MS and this is my current condition. From head to toe, here goes nothing. if you are newly diagnosed let me tell you here that mine is not a typical case, but still, you may want to stop reading now. head - intermittent memory lapses; I thank the heavens for post-it notes, I have three on my laptop now reminding me...

my back yard pt. 2

well. there's a new addition to the pet cemetery. last  week we lost Rajah, brother to nishita and punima who died in 2o18. he's buried adjacent to them. when dh was digging the grave, he found  a large skull of a dog (not ours), so he had to put a little more space than we would have preferred between the cats. i  imagine in thirty years or so, whoever buys the house and digs up the yard will be quite surprised. good night, ttyl, and be well in this year of COVID-19
