In case ya'll didn't know Sandy's boys go to the university in IL where the shooting happened, they are fine but definitely shaken up! Sandy posted it in her moms surgery thread. I wish I were there to help her out!!
I picked up my neckalce I made yesterday at the pleading of the shop owner where my stuff gets sent to..because some man was in there 3 times begging to buy it because he loved it and wanted it for his wife!
Ok, as some of yall know from last time I had roids....I had a horrible itching reaction on the back of my thighs,butt, and ummm girlie parts. So we medicated with loads of benadryl and slowed the rate down to over 3 hours. The rest of the 3 days went fine.....
Well last night the nurse didn't get here to hook me up till about 8:30 I premedicated with the benadryl...we started it over 3 hours....while she is still here my eye stars itching and goes numb....I'm thinking hmmmm...but blow it off. The nurse leaves...all of a sudden eye is really numb and I start itching in the nether regions again and on my sides....I go to the bathroom and took off my glasses.....holy freakin hell I looked like Kermit the Frog my eyes were so swollen!! I call the nurse she says let me call your doctor to see if you can have more Benadryl
I'm already so zoned I didn't realize my eyes were bulging! She never could get my neuro and kept calling to check on me...by 11 I had had enough and disconnected the crap. She called me again at midnight to check on me and I told her I was DONE!! I took more bendaryl....and I itched all over all night.
This morning eyes are still swollen but not as bad, my head feels like it is splitting in two,my legs are shaking so bad I can hardly walk and I just left a message for my neuros nurse who lucky me is late for work!
NO MORE ROIDS!!!!
Ok enough ranting!! Sandy I am thinking about you (((((((((HUGS)))))))))
Kayo-it's a little circular port they put under your skin usually above the collarbone you can take them out or leave them but they just stick the port with the needle when you need an infusion instead of a vein in your arm!
Update number two! My neuro just called me and thinks I must be the only person on the panet allergic to Solumedrol...I personally think it is too concentrated and that if they diluted it more I would be ok,but not going to test that theory! I just thought I was getting away from roids...she is putting me on a dose pack orally ( which I have never had problems with and we will try that instead) SHEESH I HATE MS!!! Gonnie sharpie MS sucks! on my forehead today!
I hope yall have a wonderful day though!!
