The Dr. started me on home health last night. It was about 9:00 before they got out to the house, but I truly appreciate them getting out here. I am now hooked up to an IV in my arm that administers fluids for hydration. Also, there is an infusion pump in my leg that administers Zofran-a drug for nausea. I am so hopeful that this gives me some consistent relief. It cannot be healthy for Reina for me to be sick and dehydrated all the time. Anyway, the company that is helping me is called Healthy Connections and so far they awesome.Even though paperwork and prescriptions held them up they got out here the same day they were called. The nurse, Tammy, taught me everything about how to hook and unhook myself, how to change my fluid bag and how to insert the infusion pump. Yes, I have to stick a needle in my thigh every day- or rather Bubba does- to attach the pump! I do feel much better mentally having 24 hour access to them if I need them. Bubba's Nanny is coming down to spend a couple of days until I get comfortable toting all this around with me. Really looking forward to her good cooking!!! LOL!
I am not the only one going through some health trials right now, so for all of you reading this please say a prayer for my mom and Elsie Sanders. Thank you! I hope you all have a fabulous day and God Bless!
