Rough Day

Last night was one of little sleep and a lot of frustration. I wear a pump around my waist that drips Mezna into me for 72 hours. It started beeping a warning at 10:30 last night. I called the person who was to troubleshoot it and received no help. Every time a dose was sent the alarm would sound for 45 seconds. By 2 AM it was sounding continuously. I checked and meds were still going in. At 4 AM I finally covered it with a pillow and slept until 7:15. I am exhausted. They took out the needle from portra-cath and inserted a longer one and it seems to have fixed the problem. I had also gained 5 pounds since yesterday, so they gave me IV Lasix, which meant many trips to the bathroom. PRAY that I sleep tonight.

Paula and Deb came by for lunch. They always make me feel better. Willie stopped and brought some of her wonderful mints. Pastor Julia made it by before she leaves for a meeting tomorrow. Barb brought a delicious dinner tonight.

I am feeling a little light headed and a tiny bit nauseous so will try to get ready for bed early. Tomorrow is usually my roughest day. I am dreading it. I hate feeling so weak and tired. Hopefully it will pass quickly.
