Took place yesterday. I hadn't been feeling too bad (other than the lack of sleep) and was hoping that this IV would only make me feel better. Well one of the reasons that we didn't go with oral steroids this time is the difficulty the nurses were having with taking my blood for blood tests back when I first got diagnosed.
Well the nurse had a heck of a time trying to get a vein and an IV needle that would work together. After 6 tries and 1/2 hour, we finally figured that the steroids were more than likely effecting my veins. So we did the one trick that works on me, the nurse had to go in 'blind' to find a very deep vein. And finally that worked!
I wasn't feeling too bad this AM and went and did a couple of errands in town (I got the day off from work just in case) however by the time I got home my head was pounding and I had a temp of 100. So Im now snuggled into the couch and watching Olympic showjumping on my computer. Right now Ian Miller is the only Canadian left with a chance at a showjumping medal. Hes worked hard his entire life at showjumping, and even though I might not agree with all of his methods, he is one of the best in Canada so my fingers are crossed for him.
