Days without incident : 15

   Nothing has happened since the last post but I felt it was necessary to thank a few people for all their support.
Thank you very much to Efie and the staff at the cafe for all their support and kindness during the fundraiser. A big thank you to all the friends and family that came out to support the event. We don't know where we would be with out you. It was a very special night. We (I) were overwhelmed by all the familiar faces and ones whom we haven't seen in a while, it was very touching. These are the things that keep us going when we have bad days.
Also a big thank you to all the staff at DCAS for their never-ending kindness in so many different ways. Your support for Colleen and our family is unmatched.
We have been blessed with a wonderful circle of friends and family who's endless kindness has kept us going during this difficult time. Saying thank you just doesn't seem enough. Just so you know we think about you every day and thank god for putting you in our lives.

I love you Colleen.

So.
Had my meeting with Internal Meds 2 weeks ago. Not much to say. They didn't take blood, not sure why. Asked how I was feeling & stuff. They aren't really going to do anything except watch me. If I experience anything out of the ordinary, go see a Dr. or go to emerg.
I still had the picc line in until after my IVIG infusion Thursday. Everything went well. Not as nauseous as last time. I did find out that I will be having a few more IVIG infusions over the next little while. It will all depend on how it reacts with my body. Have 2 more planned for sure. Chemo maintenance is still on hold until the IVIG is done.

Picc line removed. Red line indicates the actual length

Although I've been told it was a fashion statement and bad ass. I've finally parted with my beloved satchel. I was unhooked from my portable IV yesterday. I still have the picc line in and will keep it for a while yet.
Freedom is here!!! No more getting hooked on bedposts or chairs. No more closing it in car doors. And no more late night gasps for air with accidental tube strangulation. FREE!!!!!!

Meet with Internal Meds on Friday.
