So, tommorrow is a big day. I get to get my triple lumen catheter out ahead of schedule. What the heck is a triple lumen catheter you ask? Well I’ll tell ya. It’s a big central line catheter that goes right through your chest into your main veins and can deliver all kinds of chemo and poisons and fluids and you can draw labs off it. The nurses love them. It makes their lives a lot easier and it makes it easier on me with less pokes. There is only so much vein reserve I have left…lol. Gotta save some for later.
It also is a constant visual reminder that you have been through a lot of tough stuff…. but still got through it. It’s that “oh you were really going through somethin” visual reminder. I will not be sorry to see it go. Who knows? Maybe after that has been gone long enough I could even submerge in things like a hot tub again. OOh dare to dream. My dreams are big lately and I can’t wait to make them come true. Have a great day everybody!
