Well I was suppose to begin my treatment today, that didn't happen because the

Nurse that

does the infusions couldn't find a vein. She spent an hour and a half on both

hands trying to

find a vein. Now my hands are bruised and I can hardly grip things. It is hard

for me to type

this post right now.

She was telling me that I should drink more water and eat a lot of salty food

the night before.

Talk about trying not to throw up from eating too much salty food. I was like

that is all I drink

is water and the day and night before I ate salty food. You know this is the

fourth time I

couldn't get my treatment done.

And then on top of that she wanted to put an IV in a vein between the wrist and

the forearm

without using a numbing medication. I gave her a piece of my mind. And told her

where she

could stick that iv needle. Like hell she was going to put me through anymore

trauma.

Talk about setting off a flare with all of this trauma. She at least stuck me in

each hand twice

each. I think three times in one hand. Well I do hope everybody is doing great

and getting

some rest or at least trying to.
