I thought I had already posted this, but I don't see it anywhere so.. I just wanted to add a quick note that I get my first IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) infusion tomorrow morning.
Thank you so much to you folks who have been so supportive! I wish I could take you all with me in the morning (especially your kids who've been through this and are all so brave!!) to hold my hand, as I am still feeling a little like a big ole' baby and am a tad nervous.
It's not like me - I'm a very stalwart, independant soul. Heck, I kill snakes for my husband and our neighbor! (We live in the country, so there's at least 1 - 2 every summer that threaten our little ponds/frogs/fish and refuse to be relocated.) I have no fear, except for this. Spiders, needles, blood/gore, major crises, you name it, I'm good. A silly infusion of a blood product, I'm wigged out.
It's ridiculous. But off I go, regardless, with dreams of Disney and visions of all the brave kids (and adults) who've gone before me dancing in my head. Gajillions of people go through this all the time, right? I'll be fine, I'm sure. Can you tell I'm talking to me, not ya'll?
