A new nurse

Monday turned out to be a good day! I realize I now have a new nurse - Bev! No degree, but she is now doing so much for me just like a real nurse. Since Friday, she has been giving me shots, and now today she worked with a visiting nurse at the house and drained me all on her own. As they had put a spigot in my right lung cavity yesterday, we now have the capability to do it at home and not go to the ER or hospital. Not sure if that's the correct way to go but Bev had the process down perfect. She had learned from the Doc who had put in the catheter yesterday. She drained me of almost a couple of liters. The visiting nurse Marlene was a big help and just knowing someone with some experience was here put us both at ease somewhat. Marlene will visit the house at least a couple of more times which will finally cut down some costs being incurred. She checked me out and all my wounds and thought everything is going okay. I also had chemo earlier. Turned out it was a good day. Hope you have a good day whenever you may be reading this!
