Chris's PICC line has been giving her a lot of
grief in the last few days. Her skin is reacting badly to the Elastoplast
dressing which is covering the line. The dressing seems to be melting into her
own skin & causing blisters. This area of skin has now been covered for the
last four months. Just wear a band aid over the same spot, for four months
& you'll see what I mean. There is not alot that the Nurses can do except
to change the way the PICC line sits against her arm & use a different type
of dressing. There really isn't much leeway for them to change the positioning
but even the slightest change might offer her some relief.
Other than that, the chemo treatment goes in
smoothly.. We look at each treatment, as another one over, with Chris getting
that much closer to beating this!
You are both amazing and I love you!! Your positive outlook and love for each other inspires me every day. Thank you for sharing this difficult journey xx

DeleteKim it's beautiful how you capture every moment, yet there is no joy with cancer. We share the good times and bad, one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteChris you have put on a brave face from day one, I see your pain, it's in your eyes. It's ok to feel those emotions and shout FUCK THIS SHIT! We will get there, it may not be smooth, but it will end! I LOVE YOU more than words can ever express, and there's not a minute that passes, that I'm not thinking of you, wishing that I could make it all go away. You are a BEAR and stand 10 feet tall. You will beat anything that comes your way!
Love Robbie
