The nurse had to use another vein in the opposite arm as she'd been sticking me in much the same spot. The other arm that usually has a monga vein, as I affectionately call it, hurt like I don't know what! I had to bear it though because nursey-kins started eying the veins in my forehand and I wasn't going for that!
So after the IV was set up and flowing, I chatted for a few minutes and then it was time to go. My husband drove me down and after the transfusion we ran up to Alpharetta for a few minutes. By the time we'd turned out of the parking lot, I was fast asleep. I couldn't believe it. He finished his errand and when we got home, I went straight for the bed. As soon as I was getting into REM, my mom, who lives with us, opens the door to the bedroom, and I was immediately awakened. I didn't get back to sleep after that. That was literally a rude awakening.
She asked me if I was okay because I just came home and went to sleep. I told her I needed to rest and that she woke me up by opening the door. She has been doing this every day since I have been home. Some days, I slept so soundly I didn't hear her enter, other days, she woke me up just as today. I finally told her never to open my door if I was asleep. I know this she does on purpose. She is one of those people who spoils everyone's fun if she isn't having fun. She doesn't understand that I haven't been well. She never does; she only understands when she is sick and why no one caters to her whims.
Nevertheless, I got out of bed, dressed, and went back out to do some light shopping. Bought some new undies, and some necklaces as Charming Charlie's was having the "bomb" clearance sale. I tried to eat something, but I wasn't hungry. I settled for a cup of iced coffee and made my way back home after a long drive. I found some cute things that will be a nice edition to my wardrobe.
So not much going on here, just chillaxin' and trying to figure out what to do this weekend. I had the urge to take the dog and my son out for a long walk tomorrow morning. If it doesn't rain in the AM, I will let you know what I decide. Something exciting has to be out there for me to get into an doggone it, I'm gonna find it!
Smooches!
