Lot's of waiting between the triage, then after getting my blood checked, then after getting the first bag of saline before being moved to a room. Once we were in a room, smooth sailing!! I saw nurses, techs, and a doctor!! WOW, he even came in twice! :-) The nurses and techs were all super nice once we got to the room. Gave me and my mom lots of blankets cause it was sooo cold!! One guy tucked me in like a mummy with four or five of the blankets! :-)
Checking out...was told the bill would have been close to $2000. Thankfully, I have already met my out of pocket, and won't have to pay that. The two huge payments, that I already am working on paying off this year and that everyone who has "chipped-in" is also helping me with is enough. Until the deductible and out of pocket starts again January 1, with my first Herceptin Treatment.
It also helped my spirits seeing all those touching and uplifting words of encouragement for all of you on facebook. I have such a remarkable group of friends! Reading everying that everyone wrote, and there were so many of you, they kept pinging my phone made me feel loved. Made me feel like this:
I really did start to feel a lot better after the first bag of saline and the zofran(I am going to ask my doctor for zofran), but not enough to eat, like my dad kept joking. You wanna pizza? Popeye's Chicken? I was hungry.....my stomach was growing....that had not happened in several days. But still the thought of food was not appealing.
Tried to go home and took until 5:00AM to sleep. Slept until 8:30AM. Went over to mom and dad's and then mom and I went to lunch after she got her hair cut, and then we went back and watched baseball, and football flipping back and forth, while having Popeye's chicken for dinner. (I got my appetite back).
