Timelies all!
Things start to get hectic on my DVR tonight. Summer shows winding down + fall shows starting up = catching some things on the second airing.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
did you have to get yours flushed with heparin every time they used it?
Yes, and it turns out that I have to go back and get it flushed once a month until I remove it, which I guess I will be doing sooner rather than later, though not until after Hawaii.
eta: though every time for me was once every three weeks, and now they are saying flush it about every four weeks so if they use yours every week, maybe you won't need every time? I would ask about that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When they went in to use it the second time, it came up dry until they flushed it with saline. I don't think they heparined it after the first time. So I'm worried, but I'm also worried about what a not-clotter is doing flowing around my system, what with my wonky platelets and shit already.

I don't think enough people complain in detail to their oncologists.
I agree. And my experience was that my team was more than happy to give me whatever the hell I needed to prevent pain and nausea. My only really severe issue was the leg pain, which freaked me out, because I swear it wasn't listed as a possible side effect of the chemo, but then the nurse said it sure could be, so... yeah, here, have some percocet... enjoy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would definitely ask about that.

I took a small dose of coumadin for as long as I had the port. I had infusions every three weeks, like Perkins, and they flushed it with saline each time. I had to have it flushed with saline every six weeks after I finished chemo.

Because books.
Emmys In Memoriam Segment Ignores Jeff Conaway. What's sad is that it didn't occur to me while watching. Sorry, Kenickie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just lost a big post because b.org spontaneously logged me out. Annoying. Maybe just as well, though.

Grr. I don't want to worry about stupid stuff with the portacath. I really don't. But when she mentioned a new drug she wanted me flushed with weekly...I dunno.
I stayed late for no real reason other than my doctor's office was messing up with the prescription again, and my boss called me at 4:50 for a piece of information. So I was able to show him I was here at all hours (everyone my level or below clears out by 4:30) and dredge up ancient history for him besides.
Go me.
Why am I still here, though? Time to close documents and go home.

Close documents, ita !. Go home.
