Re: Cancer Warrior....Version Three
this painting is me
during last infusion 40 minutes in
to a 90 minute infusion
my head, neck, and ears were on fire
my chest tightened
and my legs felt flushed to the toes
and i began to shake
my son summoned my nurse
but right behind her were All the nurses
this was far from their first rodeo
calm and professional, they each had a task
one stopped the infusion, one took my vitals
blood pressure 220 over 100
one infused benadryl into my IV line
one brought heated blankets
then a doctor appeared with her stethescope
to check my heart and lungs
and finally my oncologist emerged
everyone so very calm.....that relaxed me
the plan for Friday is a much slower drip
but if things go haywire I know a great bunch
of care providers that understand what needs to be done
