INFUSION DAY

 PART II

So where did I leave off, oh the Benedryl LOL. Yeah after that was the big one, 5 hours of flowing dripping Rituxan.........then the two red tubes of some other and a bag of something else and another of something else, some prednisone, anti anxiety meds, and was able to call it a day sometime after 5pm.

Had a nice bagged lunch and splurged for the potato kale soup, yum!! I am afraid the entire day is a blur.......in an out of sleepy time land. Poor Ed probably a very boring day for him, but I tried to stay awake I really did!! And each time that I did wake, he was right there just as I knew he would be.

Now we are walking out, one of the scariest days for me so far, and I made it through. Cut stuff out of me, implant me with things OK........but tell me I am going to be sick to my stomach NNNOOOOOOO!!!

And we are on the way to the car, me with the best guy in the world ready to catch me with if I make one slip. I am pretty sure he is probably as relieved as I am :)

Unbelievable. 

That's it? 

But for now in this moment I am happy and proud. Everyone says it is up to me, but I couldn't do it without him!!

Trying not to be so amazed, this is not even the end of day one, who knows what the night or the next few days will bring, but he will be there, so I will be ok.

And I am tired!!
