Kelley and Ben's Adventures

The 12 hour infusion of chemo went well. I woke up Friday morning at 3:45 to stop the machine and clean my IV, no problem. I then went to the Doctors at 9 to turn in the machine and have my IV removed. I've had my arms poked about 14 times this week already, with little success (and lots of bruises), so I thought maybe I could keep the IV for my blood draw today. While the nurse was looking into the possibility of this, she hooked me up to the drip to keep me hydrated. She soon returned and said that I could keep my IV until today, but that they also wanted to keep me there to do another D&C (this is the surgery that cleaned out the abnormal tissue). So, I had another long day at the hospital, but I'm feeling pretty well, and hopefully this will all go away sooner. Besides the slew of minor medications, I don't have anything exciting going on for another couple of weeks. I go back on the 5th to check in with the oncologist and the ob/gyn doctor that did my surgery.
