Home (again)

Oops – forgot to send out a note telling everyone that Tracy is home.  After some late in the day Doctor wrangling, “we” were released around 6:00 PM or so Friday evening.  Tracy made it an early evening and cashed in around 8:00 PM.

Today’s festivities included not only house cleaning (had been completely trashed), but the arrival of the company who is providing all of the home care materiel for Tracy’s self-deportation. Uh – I mean self-administration. (oops)

It is basically a really simple process.  Wash your hands, lay down some (clean) paper towels; grab a few syringes out of the hiding place; grab some alcohol pads.  For the actual infusion, you clean the port then flush with salines. Once that's done, you take the Dapto, and infuse it over five minutes.  Once that's done - do another saline flush.  Apparently, the type of line which Tracy has is new, and does not require a Heparin flush.

 

By the time I have posted this, supper is done and I’m down stairs starting in on a few hours of Boston University work.  Tracy is upstairs ( I think ), and will probably be hitting the sheets shortly.  It’s been a long three days.
