Well, today was the first day. I had no idea what to expect. I was correct about some things, but some things I had to be educated about. The treatment did not hurt, but the needle sure did. I was wondering about the medicine burning while I was getting the IV. It did not. When I was in the ER for the migraine, the medicine in the IV burned. I cannot handle painful treatments at this time. I hate the needles more and more and now; I have to offer the arm that has the bad veins for injection. Some of these nurses are getting to "dig for gold" and that is very painful. "Oh, I can get it dear". Yea, I have heard that many times. But, I have been told that there are things that just are not going to be the same. My left arm is off limits to many things and as a proud woman who is physically strong, this will be different. I will have to look at the work that I normally do and cannot carry heavy things.
I have five more treatments to go. If they are like this treatment, then it will go really well. I hope and pray that this will be. I am scared some and realize that all of this is in the hands of my LORD--Elohim!
Pressing on!
