On the other hand, I got to see and speak to people who aren't my immediate family members! I work a mask, they checked my temperature before they would let me go to the medical infusion floor. I wore gloves to sign papers saying I would pay my bill and used the gloves to press the elevator buttons, then I threw out the gloves in a trash can. I used hand sanitizer after taking off the gloves. I wore my coat and mask the whole time I was in the hospital and then after I hand sanitized. I took off my mask and coat threw them in the trunk and hand sanitized again. Then I drove home took my shoes off and put all my clothes in the wash and took a shower.
I did everything I could think of and stayed as far away as possible from everyone. My visit was to get my port flushed. It was already really overdue for flushing.
What is a port? A little medical device implanted up by my neck that can be used to take blood or administer IV drugs right to my jugular. They use it to give you chemotherapy drugs so your veins in your arms don't get trashed from all the sticks and medications. I should be getting the port removed, but that is an outpatient procedure and it's not essential right now. The flush is to help avoid a potential infection so I needed to get that done.
How was your Monday? My celery plant is coming along! Look at that!
Happy Tuesday!
