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.
