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!
