Well, the actual injection (which I received in the “Infusion Center”) was pretty much a piece of cake. It barely stung for a moment going in and there’s no residual pain in my arm at all.
The hardest thing was that the appointment was at 8:00am, which meant leaving our house at 7:15 (or close to that, anyway!).
After registering downstairs, doing paperwork in the Infusion Center, waiting for the dosage to be mixed and delivered, learning about how it all works, receiving the injections, and — finally — waiting fifteen minutes to make sure I didn’t have any adverse reactions, I was definitely tired. But I’m not sure how much of that was the medicine and how much lack of sleep!
We also picked up my oral prescriptions, over-the-counter meds, and arranged for a “specialty” prescription that has to be delivered by mail. Quite a process!
I also managed to finally get ALL my appointments entered into a shared Google calendar so me and my two main helper-angels can see what’s coming up. And I think that’s quite enough for one day.
Good night!
