HI Mel........Can I come to your house and eat goodies?? LOL They always sounds SOOOO yummy! LOL

HI J! Actually I have a great nurse. She's the head nurse who does the first few infusions for newbies for IVIG. Luckily she really liked me and we enjoy sitting and chatting so she continued to do mine and I do treat her like a queen! lol I feed her too and we watch tv shows we both enjoy while she's here. I'm very lucky. I guess I just have really rotten veins...probably from always being so unhealth since I was a kid.
I hope the Port goes well for me. The nurse at the infusion center said for the first few days after it's installed I'll be in terrible pain and I'll need to live with a heating pad
J, I'll let you know how things go.......which I hope is uneventful! lol Take care!
