IV infusion

Well the Iv for my RA meds is suposto take 3 hours ok? And I was told to expect a bit of flu/cold symptoms (head acke, tiredness, ect) Which is fine, I get that when I dont get my meds plus my joints hurt.

Well I go in yesterday for my second treatment... starts at one, 3 hours on then one hour wait time then Im done. Well yeah except it was one when I got hooked up they ran saline for 30 min then started the drug. About 1/2 way though my head starts to hurt a bit so the nurse decides to slow it down, which adds on more time. My head still hurts by the way so not sure if its directly related or not. So its now 5 pm and I still had to wait the additional hour. By this time I feel bad, the poor nurse is missing supper with her family and Im stuck to this stupid line.

I didnt get out of there till 6, missed supper at the cafateria so I had to go get some (and Im not suposto dive opps...) Then ended up in bed by 7:30. Just feeling crapy and tired. The BF calls when he gets home at 10:45 but of course Im groggy and stuff, but he just wanted to make sure I was ok.

THEN I get up at 6 to do home work, dont get it all finished, go to class all stressed still slightly sick and find out that class is cancled. Yippie! So now im going to go finish my homework. ;)
