Day #1
I am going to blog everyday of my infection. By infection I mean in my central line in my left chest used to administer my Veletri medication used to control my PH 24/7. At the end of April my central line began to get red and sore so I had my PH specialist look at it. She cultured the site and had me begin taking oral antibiotics. After 2 weeks of the antibiotics the site showed no change and began oozing puss and aching. So tomorrow morning I am calling my PH specialist and she will admit me to the U of M hospital for IV antibiotics and a series of blood and site cultures. We will rule out a blood infection (I hope!). If there is a blood infection that means pulling the infected line and getting a PICC line inserted so I can continue getting my Veletri medication. But enough of that talk, I will not get ahead of myself and I will calm my nerves. It is all in God's hands.
I am taking a long bath to relax tonight. House is clean and the chores done just in case I have to travel the 3 hours to the hospital in the morning. That is something all PH'er do in times like these. I might even pack a bag tonight just to be safe too. It takes time to pack all my medications, dressing kits, clothes and things to do while sitting in a hospital bed for a week. Then I will have to get my mom to watch my daughter and my animals. PH is more than a disease. It is a life changer, a tumor on my life. I can't do anything without the tumor rearing its ugly face!
Please say a prayer for me and my family are I am going through is rough time. I appreciate every one of them.
