Day 4: Almost to the Finish Line

Day 4 down! One more to go!! I showed up for my infusion but my PA came to see me prior to starting because I was having tightness in my chest that I couldn’t explain. She thought maybe I should skip it my infusion and me (the needle hater) freaked out because I knew the hep-lock had to come out since it was in my arm since Tuesday.

Come to find out, the chest pain I was experiencing was just once indigestion. Prior to the infusion she gave me pepcide again and I was just fine.

During my infusion the IV and my veins were in a painless battle. The medicine was dripping very slowly. She flushed it so it could have been the line, nope she started working on the bag some and then stuck my other arm to find a vein to restart the entire line and my vein flat line on her.

I was in utter hell! I hate needles and now I’m two minutes from prayer and a panic attack. She went back the original side to try one more thing, this time I was praying lord please let this work. I did not want to postpone and add another day of this.

God is so good, it worked and I was able to get my infusion done. Now, Monday will still be my last day of this infusion. I’m so glad God answered even the simplest of prayers.
