Default #15 down

I had infusion # 15 today.

Got home from work at 6:30 a.m, threw myself into bed and went right to sleep. Hated to get up to make my appointment, 5 hours of sleep doesn't work for me when I need to sleep!

Hit oncology right on time, the nurses were all prepped and waiting for me, everything went smoothly, infusion started at 1:30, much quicker than usual. The place was empty today, so I got to chat with the nurses.

There's two new Ty patients coming on board this month, so I won't be the only one again!!! Both are MS patients, they haven't had any Crohns patients yet.

Noted during a quiet moment that I was starting to itch in places that couldn't be scratched at that time...quietly got up and did a trip to the ladies room and ...I found a FLEA!!

I was getting all worried that I was having some sort of reaction
I was within a minute of calling the nurse back in and telling her to slow the drip and get the Benadryl ready!

The rest of the infusion went smoothly and when I got home I did the 1800petmeds order for Frontline.

I'm tired and ready for bed NOW, but I am forcing myself to stay up for a few hours so I can sleep all night...hopefully!

Onwards and Upwards!!
