Every three weeks, I receive my IVIG infusion which lasts about 2 hours for the purpose of boosting my immune system which has been destroyed by my 13 years of cancer treatments... My port is accessed so an hour before the procedure, I put on some cream over the port which minimizes the pain of using a rather large needle.
I usually request an early morning time slot (7 or 7:30) so that I will be assured of finding a parking slot close by and don't mind paying the price of getting up early to have that opportunity. My drive is just under an hour, so I am up at 5:30 am.
However, this morning I was up at 3:30 because I woke up to pee and could not fall back to sleep, so I laid in the bed until 4:30 and when I looked outside saw that snow had fallen and remebered being told that we would be getting 3-5 inches.
As a result, I decided to leave the house 30 minutes early and if there were no problems, I did not mind waiting for 30 minutes in the car which is exactly what happened. The snow was falling so fast that at times, it was blinding but the road was clear because the temps were somewhere between 32 and 34 degrees which is not cold enough to do any damage, even if ice had fallen previously.
This was our first snow of the year, and I was the first patient to check in for 2022 whatever the hell that means or does not mean....
I have 3 weeks off until my next doctor's appointment...
