Just some hand therapy

Well today was the first day of my last set of treatment. Scale = terrifying, blood pressure good & heart rate ok. Of course no one can ever find my veins and I feel like they never listen to me about it either. Today was almost blood bath part two when she tried to stab the back of my forearm and then proceeded to tell me i have cosmetic veins. Don't all veins serve a purpose? Anyhow so I ended up with an IV in my wrist where I said I didnt want it, then was shocked that I didn't want to keep the IV. Sigh Other than that I felt like treatment went by really quick today. I fell asleep for half the first bottle and most of the second. My appointment was at 11 and we left shortly after 3. Can I just say that I find it highly obnoxious when you go to get off an elevator and some bia is trying to rush in? Do you think I just ride the elevator up and down as my one sense of joy in my life? Stop being so rushed and rude, everyone knows you let the people out before getting in. (Don't they?) I guess I just thought there was elevator etiquette. Although I shouldn't be surprised since about 20 people cut in front of us to get on the elevator. On the way home dad and I stopped in and checked out Zanottos market for the first time. I was pretty pleased with the selection! They actually had Hoffmans cheese which I love and we picked up some pretty delicious looking rib eyes which I am excited to have for dinner. I feel like I am not getting around as well today as yesterday, but I think that has something to do with going up the stairs last night. My knees are very sore and I feel like when I fully extend my leg my knee locks. They arent used to being used I suppose. Despite this I did manage to do the 8 stairs again today. Hoping the more I do it the more my legs will build up a tolerance to the motion and become easier. anyhow this is my update for today and my typing activity. Now onto some hand writing. 4 days left of this IVIG round. xoxo
