Alpha-1
I was without the alpha-1 antitrypsin for 3 weeks. That gave my bruised hands time to heal. My wonderful husband was doing the IV infusions. I'm not sure what changed, but it went from 4 or 5 tries to 10 or 12 sticks to get the IV needle in a vein. Then insurance messes. But finally we got more medicine and the nurse who taught Bob how to do the infusions came back and did my stick on Friday. Nice. I got my antitrypsin and no new bruises! Yay.
I feel better. It seems that the infusions really do help. I can breathe better and I have more energy. Those 3 weeks without alpha-1 antitrypsin I was kinda hurtin'. I think that's why I didn't write in my journal. When I don't feel good, I am just not happy. I want my journal to be mostly happy. And I am happy today.
Smiles to all my friends and cohorts on this site.

Dee, yourf my sweet happy person, and I love your journal entries,. Please keep them coming, I know Bob was doing his best, but sometimes after so many successful sticks it becomes difficult to find a vein that doesn\'t have some scar tissue around it,. and I am sure that was the are Bob kept hitting. He will learn, and I am so impressed that you all make it work.. Take care Bill
Dee, It\'s good to hear from you. I\'m glad to hear your hands are healed and you can tell your infusions work. Take care!
