We left at 4 am and here we are in the waiting room at Huntsmans. I was terrified of this day. By the grace of God and with the faith of my family and loved ones I made it through. At one point the pick team had the mid line in but the blood was not coming out. I was bleeding where the incision was but nothing would come out of the tube that was connected inside my vein. How do you relax your veins? My vein was closed up around the tube and nothing was coming out. We moved me around and sat me up, laid me down. After about a 1/2 hour I looked at Jim and said lets pray together. We each prayed with all our hearts, and the blood started to flow. What a tender mercy.
My aunt Doralee has been a great support and came and visited me many times while having chemo. She is the girl on the left, always happy and full of laugh’s. She brought chocolate and we celebrated with it! She was born on the same day and same state as Jim, so they are kinda twins!
I slept throughout most of the process and had to work hard to look awake and full of energy to get my picture this time.
After a long nap, Jim and I downed some of the amazing chocolate that Doralee contributed. Then I was done, Done, DONE! The infusion team at Huntsmans presented me with a “Certificate of Completion” and a snuggly blanket and then directed me to the place where I could “Bang the Gong”, I decided to dance as well!
I had no idea. I am so happy you are Done. Oh my I really happy you are done.
Thank you Angela, I thought I was done, but I have other obstacles to face. But you know that we are both going to keepin on goin!
