I thought today was never going to end and kept waiting for someone to say April Fools! I had to be a clinic at 8:45am today. I got my labs drawn then had to go for the weekly Tuesday chest xray. When I got back, I found out that I had 2 new things to do today: a breathing treatment that prevents pneumonia and a different IV drip to boost my IgG - "IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. They are the smallest but most common antibody (75% to 80%) of all the antibodies in the body. IgG antibodies are very important in fighting bacterial and viral infections" - because I guess mine were running low.
So after the xray, we started the 2 typical daily 30 min antibiotic drips, but then I got whisked away to another room to do this breathing treatment. Can you say awful!?!?!?! Imagine sucking on some nasty tasting pills for 25 min. It was so intense and gross that I lost the cranberry juice that I had just finished drinking.
After that horrible ordeal, I went back to my standard room and had to finish my daily 2 hr drip then the IgG 2.5 hr drip. Unfortunately, I couldn't just sleep my way through it because the nurse had to take my vitals every 30 min since it was a new medication for me. Finally out of clinic at 4:40pm!
