IVIG today

I realized that on my way to the Hospital for the IV that I forgot to phone in earlier to get them to have the gamma ready for my arrival (your to call in the morning so they can have it ready for you) I called at 12:30 my appointment was for 1:00pm. They said no problem.

1st I had to find a lab so I could do my HCG test the original one I go to was so packed when I walked in that I said forget it (I was already running late (story of my life) So I went to the lab that the Clinic uses, I walk in and ah it was empty. I still had to take a # though.... she took my sheet and for some reason she thought I was there for a ecg?? I said no HCG. Then I get lead to the little "donate" chair, I give the tech the choice of what arm she could use she just looks at me a says, Well that can't be a good sign, your giving me a choice? I said yes, it does not matter to me I get poked quiet often.

I arrive at the Hsopital I go to the Cancer area that is where they do the IVIG treatment. The nurses are great and friendly. One nurse walked into the room and look at me then smile she said you are back, that can only mean one thing??? I smile and said yup. She said well congratulations I was wondering when you'd be back.

Durning the IVIG the nurses come and check your blood pressuer every 1/2hr to make sure the body is still "happy" then they turn up the drip and that makes the arm cold a achy. Well one of the nurses came and aked if she could ask me a question and that I don't have to answer if I did not want to. She then went on to tell me that she was/is seeing Dr S as well and wanted to know what brang Dr S to the decision to send me for IVIG treatment, so I told here my story and that IVIG is almost my last hope.


On the way home from the Hospital I was listening to the radio and this song came on by George Canyon "My Name" it is a song about miscarriage, I have had people tell me of this song my sister for one right after my last loss in September she wanted me to listen to it but I was not ready to. Well the tears were falling from my eyes. If you have not heard that song you should. (I will try and find the words to the song)
