Hi everyone. We are back from SC but I got been sick with sinus crud while gone and croupy cough. Now Dan has it and to top it off, last night I ended up in ER with this stupid hiatal hernia acting up again. They think all the coughing like a 99 year old smoker might have helped trigger this episode because I have been okay since January. 4 sticks for IV's before one finally went in and 2 for the lab lady to get blood drawn. They had to dig finally for the IV to go in on the top of my upper forearm and I think the nurse may have ended up in my right thigh with her javelin attempt.
Seriously, I sobbed and had snot bubbles. Not a pretty look but more painful than any before. I have probably had 200 IV's in my life and my veins suck to begin with and now they are worse off just due to wear and tear. I have always fought getting a permanent port put in but after last night, I may give in.
I will hopefully be back to business later today. Percocet for pain and zofran to not throw up from the Percocet!
Thanks for all your patience and kind words of the writing. I will respond to each later.
