Unhappy i.v antibiotics site moved

I wanted to let you guys know i may not be posting much for the next few days because i had to go get my i.v moved from my left arm to my right hand. which now makes its painful to type.
the site became painful and red so i had to go in today to have it moved i have small veins that like to roll so we ended up blowing to veins before they found a vein that looked good in my right hand. so it went there. it comes out weds afternoon and i can't wait.
I'm feeling better. but I will feel wonderful when this suckers out lol.
Hope you all had a good weekend and have a blessing week.

Unhappy

Rhonda you poor thing. I thought maybe you'd be done with this stuff by now. What next, huh? If you're up to it you can call me when you're feeling up to talking, I don't want to call you and wake you if you would happen to be resting or something. Get well soon, hon. Sending you a cyber angel, group hug, gentle kiss and lots of prayers. Let me know if there's anything I can do. Sorry I missed your buzz earlier tonight, when you're back up to speed we'll chat. Hang in there girl, you're tough you can beat this, I know you can!

Much love and concern
Tracy K.

Oh you poor dear, IV are so uncomfortable and to have veins that like to roll doesn't help. I hope your family is stepping up and taking good care of you while you have this IV. Take care and get well

Talking Rhonda

So glad to hear you're feeling better Rhonda, that's fantastic news! I'm so glad to hear this news. Maybe I don't need to send a get well card after all, huh? Try and catch me on yahoo sometime, we haven't chatted in a while. It's our 8th Wedding Anniversary tonight and he still hasn't given me anything.

Anyway, glad you're doing better!

Tracy

The I.V RN lives close to me she called me this morning and said for me to take my dose early today so i could come in and have it removed.

*secert* I was going to remove it my self i had too today after my treatment, but since they called me and said it would be okay to take it early i went in and let her take it out. she is a very nice lady about my age.
we got alone well.
