This past Tuesday marked my sixth Sub-Q infusion which went really well and was the first of a new five day regime. John now knows how to do all the record keeping during an infusion and has become my official secretary. Here is a picture of us at work:
After my infusion this week my Mom, John and I made a quick one day trip to Athens, OH to get things squared away before the school year begins. I met with the Dean of the COMS department, who was so sweet and helpful, but I left his office with a lot to think about! I am still overwhelmed with all of the decisions I need to make about school. Things like how many hours to take; to keep my major or switch to something else (COMS is great but it means lots of interacting with a class which could be tough on my body); making sure I feel comfortable, safe and clean doing my infusions in my house; can I depend on someone to be with me during my infusions to make sure nothing serious goes wrong; can I keep my space germ free; and the list goes on and on. I know that I have to keep my health in mind when making the best decision for my future but it really puts a lot things on the table! Oye-Vay!
As if that's not enough going on, I picked up a bit of a bug in Athens and am sick sick sick today. Tossed and turned all of last night with coughing, congestion and a fever. Today my skin hurts and I feel extremely flu-like. Luckily I do an infusion this evening so hopefully that will give my immune system a boost! I've never done an infusion while being sick... I hope there won't be any side effects.
