Priceless … and PICC-ky Me!

Happy Tuesday for me…..got my PICC Line put in today….oh, happy day!!  This will make chemo infusions and blood draws sooooo much easier.  On Friday, my infusion was just such a painful experience, it took 3 attempts and 40 minutes to find a vein……not any longer—got my PICC Line….I could almost do a dance!!

Tomorrow is another Chemo Day already … my 3rd …..can’t believe my treatments have only started on September 1, because it seems like a lifetime ago.  I certainly look at things in a different way, that is for sure!!

Cindy and me before I got my “touch up” on Friday, Oct 7 ~ Cindy is my Hair Artist!!

Did I mention what a great weekend I with my friend Karen?  (Friends since high school!)   It was good that the expectation level was set a little low, because I didn’t have a lot of energy.  That is something I don’t quite understand—you spend a few days in the hospital and it takes like a week to recover?? Strange, huh?  On Saturday we went to see a movie “Sully” and then to The Poseidon in Del Mar for a beverage and to watch the sunset.  Del Mar is my favorite stretch of beach and to enjoy a beautiful sunset with Karen was great!!  On Sunday we went out to lunch, but the best part was tooling around with the convertible top down in my Mini—priceless!

Racing around with Karen in my Mini ~ priceless!!

This week is all about recovering and recuperating from the freakin’ nasty blood clots that have been my life for the last two weeks.  The sooner the blood clot saga is behind me—the better.  So besides the ever present doctors visits, I will be hanging at the house and regaining my strength and stamina……a very good plan in my book.

  1. So glad you’re still able to enjoy time with friends and get to do some of the things you like.

    Happy dance for PICC line. Bet you never thought you’d get excited about something like that, did you ?

  2. So glad your blood clot saga seems to be over! And a big woohoo for the PICC line. That does make things a whole lot better and easier. Happy for you! Hang in there. Seems like you are getting your fight and attitude back! Very good.

  3. Yay!! I am officially barred from seeing you (and Baby Dave) for a while, as I have a cold. Must be the petri dish of an office I work in. Hope things go great tomorrow. Love you!
