The Nurse & the Elders


Shirley, the home health nurse, came to the house yesterday to infuse the IVIG. She had to stick me 4 times to find an IV suitable. Thank God it lasted the whole treatment, but its starting to feel tender this morning so I dont think it will be good enough for 4 hours today. There arent any veins left to stick.... am I headed for a central line? Yesterday was nice in the sense that while I slept during the infusion.... Shirley, Mom, and Nancy had a tea party. It made the time go much faster. ....... Nancy took me to the laying on of hands at the church that morning. It was the first time I felt a sense of peace about this nerve condition. We boo-hoo'ed the whole time. The 2 elders were so nice, and afterwards they both helped me walk out to the car. My legs were about to give out, and I was so wobbly from the long walk. I'm really hoping this round works.
