So of course, it's summer, and holidays have begun.
I'm receiving my dose of pamidronate for these 3 days, as I should be. Bit of a hitch yesterday with it, as I was turned away, but today all is well.
Anyway, I'll be going to stay with my mom and Ken, and also at some point, with my dad and Jeanne. I'm leaving, on Saturday, immediately after my pamidronate treatment has concluded, given all goes well.
Anyway, I got some pictures today, so I'll upload them.
Just figured I'd throw a brief post together.
Anyhow, also like to comment that the nurse, Sheena, is very good at what she does, and makes this a lot easier.
Anyway, that's it. Seeya!
Well, I've finished day 2 of the 3 days I have to go to the hospital in the morning for pamidronate. I've also gone to school in the afternoon so that I don't fall too far behind. Nothing really terribly eventful going on at either, but today something new happened that's never happened before. The IV that was left in my left wrist which always is, got plugged this morning when they tried to start the pump. So, they had to try and find a new vein. Well they found one in the back of my left hand which was preferable to my right hand because I'm right handed, but when the nurse tried to get the needle in, the vein rolled out of the way. That KILLED! It hurt so bad. I've been poked plenty of times, but in all the times I remember, this hurt the worst. Anyway, she tried at it again, and this time my vein blew. It burst so they couldn't use that vein anymore. So finally, they had to get it to go into my other hand which is where the nurse finally got it. My left hand is now nicely bruised. Anyway nothing else has really happened today, but yesterday something funny happened.
Well, first of all you need to know the nurse I had yesterday is also married to my drama teacher and they live just up the street from us, so we know them well enough. Anyway, yesterday just as we were leaving, my mom opened her mouth saying that I should babysit for them. (They have a little boy about 7 years old who's disabled.) My nurse replied "Yeah! That'd be great! Are you really interested?" I said that I might be and that I'd think about it. She seemed very enthusiastic about it, and told me to ask my drama teacher about it if I were interested. Well, I had his class yesterday in the afternoon, but I didn't ask him about it yet. I did however tell him his wife said hi which he found humorous - she'd asked me to say hi and jokingly said that she was going to write a love note for me to pass on to him too. - Why is it always me getting picked on to be messenger boy? Haha. Anyway, I've given it some thought and I do think I'm going to babysit for them, so I'll talk to my drama teacher on Monday, or if his wife is at work again tomorrow perhaps then. I would need to go over to their house and see their child of course beforehand, and find out what special needs he has since he's disabled, but I don't have any problems with that really, just as long as I DO know beforehand.
Well, I'm going to stop talking for now, I'll post more tomorrow perhaps.
