Sunday Aug 3

Today I am feeling pretty good, I am going to go have lunch with my mom at work and maybe do some shopping.  But honestly I am nervous for tomorrow, because that is when we start talking to Doctors and making a plan of getting my PICC line... I need sedation for the placement and I am nervous they wont want to work with me.  I am learning I need to be an advocate for myself and really stand up for what I need without being rude or pushy just make it clear as to what I need medically.  
I met my new Primary Care Physician and I really like her.  She seems to really care and want to help.  I also have an appointment with a new G.I. doctor this week on Thursday so I hope that goes well as well. 
Please just pray for nice nurses and that the hospital is willing to work with me on getting sedation for the PICC placement because if that can happen I will be "A" ok!

Darn grumpy nurses. How about telling them how much faster and easier it will be? As a nurse, I'm a huge fan of fast and easy, but I'm also a big fan of drugs as well when people want them...
:) Lots of love!
