Almost Done

After today, there are only 2 days left of taking antibiotics 3 times a day and I can go back to being normal once they remove the PICC line on Wednesday.

It might seem like an inappropriate complaint that I am tired of taking antibiotics 3 times a days especially since they are spaced 8 hours apart.  And yes, they are 8 hours apart but those 8 hours are not always conducive to getting sleep.

My treatments are:  11pm, 7am, 3pm

So, if I stay up for my 11pm infusion, it is difficult for me to awake at 7am for my next infusion...  so, I try to sleep a couple of hours before my 11pm infusion which is not always successful.

The other issue with these infusions are the 2 side effects:  nausea and fatigue, neither of which is enjoyable or desired.  The nausea disappears with a pill but the fatigue lingers and zapps one's energy as well as one's motivation to do anything.

Two more days is not a long time to wait.
