Round 4 of Chemo - How it went

We're home. All in all it was a good day. Lots of folks at the infusion Center today. They took us to a back section, not normally used for infusion. They let us have a room with a window that had an amazing view. But that room did not have a reclining it had a stretcher instead - which I was not so sure about at first. It turned it was more comfortable than the reclining chair. By the afternoon we were the only ones there so it was very quiet.

We started off a bit rocky, my veins did not want to cooperate. The first one we started with ended up failing and we had to stop the anti nausea drip. Finding a new vein that would work was a bit of an adventure. First they tried a vein in my hand, then went to the other arm and the first vein there did not work. Then the nurse called in another nurse who, thank heavens was successful. I call it rolling veins she said my veins we're "running"... great imagery!!! I thinking my veins are ready for the poking and prodding to stop.

Chuck and I are settled in for the evening. He's cooking and we'll watch Midnight in Paris later. I'll go get that shot for my white blood count at 8am - no sleeping in for me, rats!!
