We have our routine down pat...as long as we have all of our supplies. There are so many people out there who could really benefit some elementary math skills, I'll be happy to tutor them. Question: If you send out 21 IV bags and each of the tubings is a single use only. How many IV tubings should you have? Answer = 21; NOT 16. But that's over with.
It is still difficult for Graham to do much on his own. Not only is he very weak, but he runs out of breath doing everything (walking to and from the bathroom, talking, even eating - one of his favorite things to do). So he just lays in bed, conserving his energy to talk and eat and occasionally go to the bathroom. I still refuse to allow him to use a bedside urinal; the man has got to have some exercise! The IVs are pretty constant (morning, noon and night); therefore it's scary for me to think of leaving him for work. But I do have to go back sometime. The plan is to work a couple of days next week. I'll have him completely set up so that he'll be fine for 9 hours without me. His last day of IVs is October 1st - and then I might get to go back permanently!!! And even better, he might get to go back to work! We really miss our work; he loves keeping busy and talking to others, I miss my students and my friends at work.
Graham started his 5th Photopheresis treatment today. He has been looking forward to this. He really hasn't felt any different and he's really wanting this to work out. They say some people feel the effects after 2 weeks. This will be his 3rd, hopefully he starts to feel a little better.
