#23 down!
Holy Moley, it's almost TWO years!
I actually am having the infusion on my anniversary date in May. I told the nurses we are going to have another party! It was a very slow day at Ye Olde Infusion Bar and Grille today, so a few of the nurses sat around and chatted with me and we reminisced about the first day and the screwups that happened the first few times (wrong mix on the very first infusion, drug didn't come on time for the second one, the itchies, etc.)
The nurses here have been with me from the start. They are a GREAT group, professionals in every sense of the word, and I am lucky to have them! They used to only do oncology and the occasional steroid infusions, but are now doing a LOT of infused drugs for a lot of different diseases. The pace of Tysabri patients has picked up and they will eventually have to open more infusion suites (everyone gets their own little room due to privacy laws)
They still make me sit there until the hour is up after the infusion. I am NOT good at waiting, but I just make myself relax and read or watch TV and remind myself that it's protocol!
Life is GOOD!
