Well the home nurse will be here at 9 tomorrow morning to set me up for my first solumedrol iv infusion. Been a long time coming so I sure hope it was with the wait.

Blessings to all

Good luck to you. I had that done at home is that the one where you have it for three days, and they start the IV and then you do it for two more days. You'll be fine. If I did you any one can do it.

You will do fine it was so easy I couldn’t believe I did it on my own. I know you know this just keep everything clean like the table I had everything on a clean paper towel and wash your hands. You will understand this when the nurse shows you what to do.

Saving time and reporting you now for "roid" rage Doubled51 πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Helpful hint? Get some lemon drops. It helps take the taste outta your mouth with the solumedol

Good luck.

Doubled51 once your treatment is finished, as soon as the steroids click in, get in your car and have a spin. Enjoy, if the weather is amiable, blessings Jimeka πŸ¦‹ 🍫

I hope the steroids and the weather agree. Nice weather tomorrow then rain for a few days. But that’s Gods decision not mine. But I’m ready for whatever he brings my way.

God bless

Oh yeah I’ve been up. No noticeable results yet but. It’s atill earlyπŸ€—πŸ€—.

They actually set me up to do the next 2 my self.🀣. Just left the little faucet in me so just hook up and let her go. I’ve been patient this long waiting so I can wait for results I guess.

But you were def right about that nasty taste they leave you with.πŸ˜πŸ˜›
