Infusion Yippee Time

7 hours in a large room with a dozen people receiving various "bags 'o fun". One guy was getting what appeared to be fruit punch. Another woman had a bag a urine colored delight flowing into her. At least leisa's stuff was clear. 14 bags later, we are home with basically no side effects. They will creep in over the next few days and should not be too bad. Fatigue, sensitivity to cold food and drinks, a few aches and pains are all we expect. Neuropathy (tingling fingers and toes) may appear after 2 or three treatments but will disappear when treatment ends.

Back tomorrow at 9 for an hour for an EKG as part of a nausea medication trial in which she is taking part. Leisa has been so pleased with the people treating her that she agreed to "give a little back" by doing the trial. Its a double blind trial where she gets both an oral and IV nausea medication, one of which is a placebo. Works real well so far.

We have only one meal in reserve in the fridge. I mention that only because three people requested that I list our food situation here so meals can be organized. I hesitated because it seems presumtuous but what the hell. Thanks in advance.

We are both so tired in anticipation of getting this treatment started. Where, when, what, and who will pay have worn us out. We've taken a variety of leisa pills and expect to be awake in early June (thanks E).

So, come visit at your leisure but call (301-537-7236) first. We have until Wednesday the 24th to relax and try to get back to some sort of normalcy.

Much love to everyone.
