I'm so sorry you're having a rough time. I hope a nap will help, and the rest of the day will see only improvement. Hang in there. You rock.

Aww, Yabbit. I'm sorry. Hopefully the nap will help. At least you're finished with the IV (I hate those things!). Take it easy.....you've earned a rest.....and when you're feeling better treat yourself to something nice.

i didn't know you were going thru the SM char.
i hope the arm feels better. give it 48 hrs for the swelling. try some cool compresses.

i hope you feel better soon.

Listen to the nurse, Lambchop! (I prefer brandy with a splash of Chambord.)

Sorry about that Char. Judy's advice is right on, cool compresses. Hope your better later today. Pass me a drink.

s to you

Sox, you are my new best friend. I love Sambuca and have a bottle in the camper, should you stop by.

Hope ya feel better YB and that the rest helps. I had a blown vein on one of my Boniva IV's and they told me to put the heat pad on it. It helped the redness and swelling. May not work for you, but it did for me.

Take care
