I'm in good spirits today. This is how I should have been feeling earlier in the week of almost "normal" instead of feeling completely Blah all the time.
Stopped by the vampire station to visit the "Pauls." I was the only one in there so I got lots of attention. We had a few laughs adding to my good mood. Had a good chuckle over the giant bruise from last weeks draw. Paul #1 said he wouldn't give me a nice tattoo like that, he's too good at this :-). We shall see. Had my four viles taken, then off to treatment room.
Some more laughs at reception with my buddy Carlos. He was the one who checked me in for my very first treatment way back when. He always greets me with a smile, asks how I'm doing. I don't feel like a patient when he checks me in, more like a regular "customer" at my favorite watering hole. I like that. Everyone here at the Center has been wonderful, they remember me and make me feel good.
MyBuddies are ready, too. |
After getting set up, vitals taken, routine questions asked time to get started. The cobra does it's job, I have Southpaw in my other hand shoved up into my face (a nice squeeze of his belling and a bite in his neck). One, two, three - Argh!! Bite done, and we are already to go. Yay!!

Loaded up Ethel with backs of drugs and fluids to start:

Nothing good on the tellie this early in the day, so... let the shenanigans begin!
Nurse Shadow at it again
Nurse shadow is at it again. Setting up Ethel to give my drugs to my surrogates this time. Not sure Lil' Rey and Southpaw are going to be very happy with her.
