Nothing is coming out...


When is a bad thing a good thing? When it means I can get rid of this IV line in my leg. My line has finally clotted off after almost 17 months of having it in! 17 months with one line is close to a miracle, considering I went through about 1 a month for 4 or 5 months earlier in my life. Dr. Crow, my surgeon, wanted to put one back in right away, but mom bargained with him, and we are going to do a trial run without overnight fluids! If I can manage well over the weekend, there is a possibility we can take it out completely sometime next week. And......if that goes well, there is even a chance I could be done with my fluids all together. I don't want to jump any guns here...but all you out there in Blogger land, keep your fingers crossed for me. Updates to follow...
