IVIG treatment today.

Can we say DRAMA?!?

First my IVIG has black flecks of something floating around in it. So they tried to filter it. I don’t think so. So they mixed a whole new batch. It was going on 11 am before I got hooked up.

Around lunchtime, more drama.

One of the ladies was getting iron and after that, she got a shot. Next thing we know she was passing out. While the nurses were trying to get her stable, another lady, who was getting blood, started shaking from cold and getting sick.

Next thing we knew, chairs where being moved around and nurses were everywhere. The regular day treatment nurses left the room to escort the two ladies upstairs and file reports and nurses from the other cancer center stayed with us. At least they fed us.

Both patients ended up being admitted for observation.

And it was after 4pm before I was allowed to leave.

Long day.
