I'm so proud of myself..I did my first fill,dwell and drain all by myself today at the center. They said I did so well that I most likely will be on my own at home next week..I am excited and a tad scared, but I can do this
Just had to share a success with my DC family

72 HOURS, COMPLETELY SMOKE FREE!!!
I have never been able to get past the 48 hours without a puff here and there. I can honestly say, I have not touched a cigarette since Thursday morning at 8:30 am! I'm okay so far on real cravings.
Thank you all for your encouragement. If I hadn't had you guys to feel accountable to, I don't think I would have made it through, especially yesterday I found my new addiction though, orange tic tacs I used to love these things and got a pack of them yesterday. They are only 60 calories for the container too. Not too bad

Congrats tg! That is great news! Glad you are doing so well. Keep up the great work!

Well, the time has come..Today is my last day on one type of dialysis, tomorrow I go where I've been train the past week and I do my fill and then go HOME, the dwell of the fluids and the drain will then be done at home and I'll then do the next fill at home..I thought this was going to take at least 6 weeks but DH and I zipped through it in a week! I'm in the process of setting up all the supplies and things I'll be using,and to be honest, I'm scared to death. So wish me luck..You've all surrounded me with love since I fell ill in september, your love and prayers are part of why I am still here..so please wish me luck..
hugs

Good luck to you dear Kads. You can do this. Hugs, prayers and much love are going your way today and always.

CJ, you know we are all thinking of you and remembering you in our prayers. I'm not surprised you are bit afraid, in fact, I'd think it would be strange if you weren't, but look how you zoomed thru the preliminaries and you will do as well or better on your own. I have a friend who administered her own chemo thru a drip system and I had no idea there was such a thing. BTW, she is doing very well. You've come a long way and we are proud of you!

 

[Katie H]

I have the utmost confidence in you, cj. You'll do just fine. And, just think, you've made it to another milestone toward positive results. Lots of love and prayers are coming your way.

 

[Barb L.]

Sending lots of love, prayers, support and luck, for a angel ready to receive. God Bless you Hon.
