Whew!

I'm glad that's over. Having to spend a portion of 3 consecutive days hooked to an IV is exhausting. Although I have to (grudgingly) admit it was easier than previous infusions. 

Not only was I able to receive the infusion at home but gone was the IV pole and nurse coming to the house to start each bag. They set me up with an elastomeric pump also known as a balloon pump. It was a pretty cool device.

Unfortunately I still received "toxic wasted dump mouth" when the line was flushed with saline and during the time I received the methylprednisone.

Now I just have to wait for the magic cocktail to work. Keep your fingers crossed!
