It's almost 2 weeks when I said goodbye to Lani, my home-care nurse. She took good care of me in the small hospital nearby. She drew labs (bloodwork) before each chemo treatment, cleaned my Picc line every week and removed the infusor bottle after each treatment. We are so lucky to have her!! A home-care nurse is a nurse who goes and treats patients in their own home. But due to covid, the home-care nurses only go to patients who have mobility problems, and I don't, so we had to go to her instead. That was not a problem however. I did have a disagreement with Lani, over cranberries of all things. I believe that regular consumption of a few dried cranberries helped me avoid getting a urinary tract infection. Lani says she went to a medical symposium where doctors claimed that eating cranberries do nothing for your urinary tract. Well, I beg to differ. Having had chemo treatments I would have been especially vulnerable to this predicament and it was no problem at all. And I have always taken dried cranberries along on my travels in the past. It could be a placebo effect for me. But hey it works and I am sticking to it! Bye Lani! Take care! Thank You for everything! 😘
Lani is about to remove the infusor bottle for the last time. Thank God "Cocktail hour" is over!!!
