MONDAY

MONDAY was one fun day. Not. I slept great last night and feeling pretty good today. But we started with calls to insurance and the infection doctor where we need to get the infusion of one of the  antibiotics twice a day. We wanted to see if we could have home health come and do it. Long story short after about 4 hours: the insurance could  do what we wanted, but it is more practical to use the portable 'Body Guard 323' from Dr. Tiballi. It's about the size of a fanny pack and me and 'Fred' are now in a relationship 24/7 for the next two or three weeks. It maintains a very small drip constantly in order to keep my midline open and then dispenses the drug automatically at 4:30 twice a day. 

Yeah, I can take a shower. It has a shoulder strap to use when I am on the move; otherwise, I can just set it someplace and uncoil the 6' of tubing. I have to go to my doctor's infusion center every morning to get more IV antibiotic and have the battery checked....that only takes about 10 minutes. That's doable. 

Dawn's got all my many meds organized so I think tomorrow we might have a kind of 'normal' day...whatever that means. 

I am feeling pretty good and eating pretty well. So that is good. Plus I can get some work done. 

Guess that's it for tonight. It's your prayers that have gotten me this far and I am so thankful for you all.
Love, Bob
