Infusion Hell start

Ok, so for the update on these stupid infusions. On Monday (July 23), they decided that they would call the IV team from now on, because they do this ALL the time and deal with hard veins and all that, anyway, they called the team and 30 later, still no one had showed up, so Paula, who I've had before decided to take a look and then said she was going to get Melinda, who is "very good and if I say she's good, she's good!" Anway, Melinda ended up going in the anicube (which is the bend of my arm) and it hurt like hell!!! And 3 days later, it was still hurting. When she did it, she's like, well it's in the vein, apparentely it doesn't matter if it hurts, as long as it's in the vein!!! So Wed, I felt like crap about the last 1/2 hr of dialysis. I started feeling really flu like, crappy, aches, fever all that fun stuff. Thankfully I had Marie, Dawn and Jamie who all actually care about me and Dr. Albright came over and wanted to do a blood culture because I felt so bad. I went home and spent the rest of the day in bed, but around 4, Lydia had said she wanted to do something, so I dragged myself out of bed and went and picked her up. I asked her why she didn't ask Brady and she said if she would have asked him, he would have told Mary who would have told Martha and that would be too many people, which I told her it wouldn't, but then Bekah wouldn't have a way to get to church because I was taking Lydia to church. When we were leaving I asked Bekah why she wasn't coming and she said because she wasn't invited and so I said do you want to come, which I think Lydia got a little upset about, but she got over it. We went to Taco Bell because Lydia had a gift card and then we went to the mall to Vanity. Then I took them to church. We played kickball and me, Lydia and Brady were on the same team and we were terrible!! But it was fun, but a hot and sweaty! Anyway, the next day I had another infusion and when she (Michelle Ring) took me into the room, I asked if they had called the IV team because it was supposed to be on my orders and she said no, it's not on here. She seemed kindof pissy because it seemed like she didn't really get to do anything because we had to wait for the IV team and when the guy came (Chad) he knew right away where he was going to go and he did a great job. Apparently he used a really tiny needle and Michelle had no idea what size it was and Paula was sitting there and Michelle was like what size needle is this? And Paula responded, but kindof in a you should know this kind of way, it's a 24.

Infusion Hell

So Thursday (July 19) was infusion day and after a bad stick, they decided they were going call the IV team. Alex, from the IV team got it in, but it was painful, so anyway, Cindy decided she would just put on the orders to call the IV team for me. On Monday, I got in there and they had called the IV team, but 1/2 hr later, they still hadn't showed up, so Paula was there and she said she would take a look, then get Melinda because "she's really good and if I say she's good, she's good" Well she got it in , but she used the anicube (the bend of my arm) and it hurt like hell and she was like well we're in the vein, so apperently it didn't matter if it hurt!! On Thursday (July 26), I got there and had Michelle Ring and I asked her if they had called the IV team because it was supposed to be on the orders and she said it wasn't on there and she seemed huffy because she couldn't just get me done, she had to wait for the team. Chad, from the IV team came and knew right away where he was going to go and it didn't hurt. Apparently he used a really small needle and Michelle asked Paula what size it was because she had never seen one that small and Paula responded kindof in a you should know what size it is, 24. Then Michelle said to Nom "She said that calling the IV team was supposed to be on the orders, but it's not." and Nom pointed it right out to her. She wasn't nice or friendly at all.
Wednesday (July 25), I had a pretty bad day. The last 1/2 hr of dialysis, I felt like I had the flu, achy, fever, just really bad. Thankfully, I had Marie, Dawn & Jamie and they took really good care of me. Also Dr. Albright came over and said he was going to do some blood cultures to make sure I was alright. I went home and spent the rest of the afternoon in bed. Around 4, Lydia wanted to go hang out, so I went to pick her up. I didn't think she was going to be able to hang out because when she asked Dad, he said we'll see, which almost always means no, but apperently he was at work, so it was up to Mom :) I went to pick her up and when I was leaving, I asked Bekah why she wasn't going and she said she wasn't invited and I asked her to come which I think maybe Lydia was a little upset about to begin with, but she got over it! I asked her why Brady didn't come and she said because he would have told Mary and she would have told Martha and then Bekah wouldn't have had any way to get to church since I was taking her. Anyway, we went to Taco Bell, then to Vanity. Lydia didn't have quite enough on her gift card, so I helped her out and got Bekah some earrings :) Then we took off to church and played some kickball. Lydia, Brady & I were on a team, a very losing team! :) But it was fun and hot and sweaty! We had Bible study, but I mainly texted people during it, probably bad, but I have trouble paying attention! :) Thursday, went over to Mom & Dad's around 5 to give them a bag of goodies for their trip. Dad was a pill as usual. There was a cake on the table and I said (jokingly) oh you made me a cake! and Dad was like NO! and I said Dad it was a joke, obviously you didn't make me a cake. What is his problem?? Seriously, is it just because I was born?? Get over it already!

and the beat goes on!

Ok so so many things going on lately. I guess I'll start with the new Pastor. I thought things were ok, but then days went by and he really started getting on my nerves :( First off, with as much as I love animals, the way he talked about animals just turned me off, but then he was like, I like dogs, I just think they should be outside (well that's dumb), then we were talking about the coffee at church and he said I don't drink Folgers and I was like oh you're a coffee snob and he's like yep. Then a couple days later, he was talking to Adam and they were talking about coffee and I mentioned that he didn't drink Folgers and he was like no it's fine, I drink it. LIE!!!! And he's very, very touchy feely. That's gonna have to stop it.I don't know there's just something about him that's really bugging me. And he's always telling me everyone's life stories. Probably things that people don't want other people to know. Ok, 2nd thing, there was a funeral today for Emma Tonak, Jake & Rachel's 2 month old. I never met her because she was born in KY and to be honest, we've never been close friends and that brings me to my first emotion of the day. What friends do I have that would come to my aid no matter what. Those 3 families are thicker than blood. I do know that Christina would have my back no matter what, but who else is there? Jake had an amazing speech and that took a lot of God power behind that being the dad. It was an amazing message of God's love. I had a hard time with any emotions, sad emotions because, well I think it's because I don't have any kids. I don't have that connection. What I'm struggling with is WHY?? Why would God allow the Tonaks to miscarriage, allow them to have another baby, then take that baby away after only 2 months?? No one is going to understand that this side of Heaven. One of my favorite things that Jake said was those who have Chirst have HOPE and how sad for those who have NO HOPE. We can't even fathom what's to come. More later on these stupid infusions!!!
