So much for being off this week
My doctor has me on a schedule that requires me to take 2 infusions a week for 2 weeks, then a week off. This was my 2nd week off when my doctor calls me and says that since he wasn’t around last Thursday I didn’t receive my Zometa infusion. So we made a schedule for me to come in on Friday to do it.
Silly of me to think I wasn’t going to have to deal with any needles this week.
I showed up a bit late. Walking with a cane sucks. When I walked into the infusion suite I was greeted by my nurse. I love my nurse. Her name is Gina and she has a very personable quality to her. She’s funny and always makes me laugh.
After checking in I was surprised at how few people were there that day. I wasn’t sure if this was a good or bad thing. Check in, blood pressure, temperature, but because i’m only taking the Zometa today, NO BLOOD! Even though i’ve gotten used to giving blood it still sucks.
Gina gets the Zometa, finds a vein, and we’re on our way. I watch Everybody Loves Raymond as I wait. 30 minutes later i’m done and telling Gina to have fun on her vacation. I will have a different nurse on Monday. All of them are nice so i’m not worried, although Gina helps me feel more comfortable with being the youngest person around. She’ll be back for the next cycle.
It was a good day after all.
Eddy, all of the darn procedures sucks, but cancer sucks more. I don’t know who invented the darn thing anyway, nobody wants it so we need to get rid of it. Maybe we could all get together and come up with some type of infusion to blow the darn thing off the face of the earth, then nobody would have to worry about it anymore. Everybody hates it anyway, and who wants to be around if you are hated anyway, so it should all just blow up and go away.
Eddy, it is to good to hear that your nurses are so pleasant, it certainly makes the process easier, and it is good that you have so much confidence in your medical team, it makes going through this madness much easier.
We wish you the best of luck as you continue through the procedures that are making you healthy. Hang in there and stay tuff!
