So how long do you have to do the IV treatment for?

eep! Well least everyday you're that much closer to going home to Mac and being able to move around without the pain you've been dealing with. It might feel like the longest month of your life thus far, but if it really helps you get back to normal than it might be worth it.

Yeah. That's what everyone sez. It sucks being stuck at home though with my family FOREVER and not being able to do anything while everyone else I know is.
And I miss my beast and husband. And my own food. And my job that I can't go to anymore!

Ugh! Do they have ticks with lyme in GA too? If so, fucking coat yrself in DDT. It'll kill ya too but it probably won't suck AS much.

That sounds all kinds of horrifying.

I can't even get a regular lame-o one inch IV inserted without a vein blowing or blood spurting everywhere, I have no idea how you managed to have a tube inserted through your whole arm without bleeding out all over the place.

Hopefully, you go this month and feel better and then it's all over with. Sounds like a bitch, but if it means not being in pain all the time, it'll be worth it in the end.

Yeah, the nurse that did it put garbage bags down all over the floor first. And I was like WAIT A MINUTE. HOW MUCH AM I GONNA FUCKING BLEED HERE ( ... )

Were the garbage bags really necessary? If anything, that would make me even more tense and nervous and that doesn't make starting an IV an easier. Crazy.

This whole thing just seems like the suck.

And, really, as much as I love my mother, I wouldn't let her bathe me. Hah. She was in the delivery room with me, which was weird enough. But that's different. When you're about to push a baby out of your body, you just don't really care. "Oh, you wanna stick your hands into my cervix? GO FOR IT!" If I weren't full of hormones and pain meds, I doubt I would want my mother seeing me naked. Or even close to naked.

EXACTLY! I love my mom but yeah. I'm 24 years old now. I don't want my momma seeing my naked! But I'm scared about the arm! And while I don't care about using deodorant, I'm not getting dirty cause I'm not leaving the house, I'm not getting sweaty cause I'm constantly cold, I worry about LOOKING filthy still!

The garbage bags were "just in case". Which yeah was like OMG JUST IN CASE I GUSH THAT MUCH!? WTF!? Which is why my mom called the dr. and was like SHE IS GOING TO NEED A XANAX PRESCRIPTION FOR ALL THIS!!!!
