wow, hit me hard
 

I had my last round of Solumedol this morning all was fine until the last 4 minutes - the vein blew in my arm. Hurts like he-double-l still. It is all black & blue and still swollen 2 hours later. I am totally wiped out - goning to get a nap & hope to wake up feeng way better! Never felt like this after a treatment. Nighty Night!

:hug: aww poor kitten. I hope you feel better quick.

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. :hug:

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

Feel better Char.....personally I think Sambuca might do the trick....as
great-great-grandma Sox used to say "a little Buca never hurt none;)"

:hug:s to you

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

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 :hug::hug::hug::hug:

Ohhhhhh, how awful Char...Ouchhhh!!!

Rest and feel better... medicinal alcohol is absolutely necessary.;)

My nursejudy, they told me heat, gave me a couple of neat little heating packets to bring home. The swelling has gone down mostly, looks really nasty with the bruising! Sox, I am thinking the Vodka & Cranberry Juice is helping me too! Second glass, I am hoping for sleep tonight!

Good to hear that the vodka is helping. :D

The heat probably increased the blood flow which is why it looks nasty. Glad the swelling is going down. Can't be looking like a drug addicted hooker at the camp! :p

Hope things are better for you today, my Yabbit!

I hate when the vein blows!

I am feeling better this morning! But, I just heard it is going to be in the 80's today! :sunchair:

the worst part of the day so far..... when I had to take my oral prednedizone! :vomit2:now I have to deal with the upset stomach! :(

Milkshakes during oral P!!

They made the pills go down fast and they coated the stomach and you deserve a milkshake!

I hope someday we will toast together with a shot of Buca lol!!!:D

Amen to that, I also support the toot-frooty tums, a bloody fistful the first day. Basically, my neuro and I agreed on two for each pred tablet. They're crunchy and delicious and chock full of calcium! :D

sorry about the vein, I have never felt bad from the oral steroids...but maybe lighter dose...the shake idea is good though, as I tend to not get the pills going down fast and the taste woo... the buca might take it down lol hugss,sarah

They are great for painting too! Remind me to show ya someday. :D

Hope you're feeling much better YB! Those lovely shades of blue and purple remind me of a mountain sunset..Yes indeed..
DM, just curious..Do you keep ALL your alcohol in the camper?:cool:
