My IV blew last night. Cheston and I were up until 2 am getting a new IV put in. Then it blew today. Between last night and tonight I have been stuck nine times, the tenth being the IV that got started in my foot. (Last resort, I hate my feet getting stuck.) I am getting a pickline in the morning, which in my opinion I should have had all along. I also have apheresis in the morning. My dad came in to town today, so he will be here with me tomorrow for treatment.

I was hoping to go home today or tomorrow, but the docs think it is in my best interest to stay until all my apheresis treatments are complete, (Wed.) and then until my INR is thereputic. I will most likely still have to give myself shots when I get home to regulate my blood consistancy. SO, I am hoping and praying I will be out of here on my b-day, but I am having serious doubts about that. Friday will come too quick, and my blood is too slow. I am going stir crazy still, so feel free to come see me! Jamie came and saw me today and that helped to pass the time a bit. It is always good to see friends and familiar faces. I hope everyone has a good week at work!
