Day +209

My bloody valentines.

So, long story short, got an infection on my foot. Not sure when, not sure how, but my suppressed immune system is the gift that keeps on giving. (I was told stuff like this happens) It was bad enough to warrant IV antibiotics.

Since I needed multiple doses during the day, a pic line was inserted into my arm. No big deal right?
Well, apparently they could not get the insertion point to stop bleeding, and I had to walk back into Mayo twice to get them to fix it! (Again, told this shit happens) Lauri and I had a very romantic morning at Mayo that day.

..but wait there’s more, and it’s pretty awesome.

The pic line allows me to self administer the multiple doses, (twice a day at first now it’s 3 times a day). Our Home Health Care delivers the meds, instructed us how to administer the meds, and will even come out and take blood lab samples. We are so grateful we don’t have to make multiple trips to Mayo for this!
The coolest thing is that the IV bag is a pressurized little hand grenade that once you hook it up and release the clamp, the IV push begins. Pretty fricken awesome .

 

Other than that, all is well, just frustrating that I’ll be chugging along, feeling great then shit like this happens. I’m  truly being tested but will not be defeated!
The healing goes on! Thanks to my therapy doggo.!
