That’s the Benadryl they give you thru your IV. It knocks me out every time! But it makes the time go by much faster. I actually enjoy going in and getting my infusion.

Yes it was the benadryl that made me tired. I got to the hospital for 8a.m. finally they found a vein around 8:45 a.m. they were waiting for another tech to do it then another nurse said let me try it first try and she did it. YEAH here we go about 1p.m I woke up and my legs were killing me. Know you have to know my legs are really weak so I stood up with help.i entered the hospital with a wheelchair after

that I sat down and the nurse as asked me if I was hungry and I was so she got me a turkey sandwich meal which helped me around 2:00p.m. medicine was done them you wait for 45 minutes just in case you have any reactions to the meds to make a long story short I walk at home with a rollator I use a wheelchair out side the house. When I got home and had to go to the bathroom and I was able to get up and down by my self yeah and my husband had to do the something my husband said to me wait for me, and I will help you I didn't wait I went by my self with my rollator. Then through the night till about 12 a.m. I had some problem, going slow but that is normal but I did pretty good..I will see tomorrow. We have to go and get our taxes

oh joy oh bliss NOT. I give an update tomorrow.

Good night for now.

This is too everyone I really don’t know how to say this but the sole of my right foot which has had the feeling of being totally numb and now I have a little bit more feeling in it. Last night I got up to go to the bathroom and while walking I could feel the sole of my right foot. touching the floor. I can also curl my toes down would. Which I haven’t done in years. This is so strange a feeling which is good and I wouldn’t say anything if it wasn’t true.
