Hi All,
I have made it through the first week of treatment. Monday Ken took me in for my first infusion at SCCA. We had to be there early because they had forgotten to do a pregnancy test on my urine sample on Wednesday. They just wouldn’t take my word for it. They had to have it in writing. Wouldn’t I have been surprised?
I got to the infusion floor early so Ken & I played some cards (Black Queen) and he beat the socks off me. They finally called my name and room number so off we went. It is not a big room with a lot of chairs; I had my own room with a curtain across the entrance. There were also rooms with sliding glass doors. Everyone gets their own room. It took about 90-minutes for the infusion. Because I was there during lunchtime I got a (hopefully) free lunch. It just might show up on a bill. The only side affect I had was a headache. We headed home in rush hour traffic but got to use the carpool lane.
The next morning I woke up with my eyes watering and itchy. I don’t know if that was a side affect of the treatment or allergies. I have been tired and have had the backdoor trots but really am feeling much better then I thought I would. Praise the Lord!
My next appointment will be July 29th. I will have blood drawn and see the doctor before the infusion.

I want to share this You Tube clip with you. Kaydee sent it to me this morning. I just love it.

You may have to cut and past it in your internet server but I am hoping that all you have to do is hold down the “Ctrl” key and click on this link. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I will continue to keep you all posted on my treatment and progress.
Thank you for your prayers.
Love you all,
Karen
