I'm Home.

I'm enjoying being home and sleeping in my own bed. Most of all I missed my recliner. I'm not used to sitting in a chair without having my feet elevated. With all the extra IV fluids I received my feet look like stuffed sausages. I'm on a diuretic and keeping my feet up so they are starting to go down some already. The home care nurse came here at 11:00 am and showed me how to hook up to my IV antibiotic and how to unhook it when finished. It is quite a unique system they use. The abx is in a balloon like membrane which is inside a plastic container that looks like a baby bottle. Once it is connected to my line and the clamp is released the balloon membrane starts pushing the fluid in. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to complete. I put the container in my fanny pack and I was on my way. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my medication and then out to lunch with my mom. We went to Hudson's (Marshal Fields : ) for a maurice salad. It was really delicious especially after not having a salad for over 2 weeks. My hair cut looks much better-Thank you Ellen!! My daugher-in-law Jen bought me several bandanas and baseball caps in assorted colors which I really like and I'm sure I will get plenty of use with.
