Infusion 101 over that hurdle

 It’s Tuesday 6-26 and yesterday was my first clinical trial infusion.  Robbie asked if I was nervous when he was driving me there. I said I wasn’t because I didn’t want him to be. I was anxious about it.  All I could imagine was some mad scientist like gene wilder in young Frankenstein  making his cocktail that will now be dripping in my veins for the next few hours. Luckily I had no adverse effects and slept through most of it because they drip it with Benadryl.  This weekly routine is going to be a lot but I feel very lucky to have Columbia and Dr iwamotosteam in my corner.        The whole system is professional and they really take great care of you.  I struggle with being a burden on Robbie though.  It’s a long day and he is the kindest person but I hate his life is so changed by his.  He’s so good natured. This is not what I want for him.  It makes me really sad and I can’t fix it.  I’d feel so much less dependent if my eyesight was better so hopefully when I get the glasses there will be an improvement.  No appointments today   Stitches out tomorrow   Back to Columbia Friday for a quick blood draw   

Yall have a great day  

With love and gratitude always
