Today was totally a rest in bed bed day. Even though I didn’t rest in bed all day, I did spend most of the day on the couch sleeping, so didn’t get much done except for rest. Seen as that is what I need right now, I’ll let myself off this time.

My arm is still aching but I expect that to go away in the next few days. I mentioned last week that there were other options if my arm aches to much. These include a PIC line in my upper arm. This stays in semi-permanent, and needs a dressing changed every week. Also I have to be careful getting it wet when I shower etc. as there would be a plastic tube hanging out of my arm. Sounds like a pain in the ….. ARM. 🙂

Then there is an option to get a port. This device goes under my skin in my chest. It has to be surgically implanted, but when its done, there is no tube sticking out and the skin seals itself up again. This obviously has to be removed at the end of my six months of treatment. I don’t like the thought of either of those so for now I will put up with the aching arm and not complain. 🙂 Taking some tablets for an ache is still the option I will stick with at this time.

Stay plugged in and Awesome.

Positively, T Neil van Rooyen.
