New Hardware

I wondered a few days ago just how much hardware a body can handle before the software  gives up.


This is a photo of my morning and evening routine:

On the left  you see the IV meds I take and on the right the 2 nebulizer treatments .
Now this may not seem like much to you, however upon waking my routine is weight (yuck), blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, pft's, and blood sugar and logging it all in on an Excel spreadsheet. Then 

Then round one of meds, breakfast, morning walk with boys, then round 2 of meds- then all the above before getting ready for work.
This is the picc line for the IV's  that I wrap after the treatment so it  isn't seen at work:
Yeah it hurt and itches like hell, but it's something I need for now. On Friday it comes out and I get a port in my upper right shoulder. Left is already full -a Pacemaker is strategically parked there. They told me the port would hurt about as much as the pacer being put in.. great.. SO that's why the Rx of Oxy..

Along with all this is the emotional  ( I dread to consider the financial) aspect too. That is the part not many see. I'm still remaining positive and refuse any negativity in my life.
And thanks to wonderful -fantabulous friends on FaceBook I'm making it with laughter!
This post was starting out vastly different, then I spoke to a few of those wonderful friends and they had me laughing like a banshee!  

Moral to the story:
The software can handle the hardware as long as it has wonderful caring friends and family.
Have you told your friends how special they are today??
Maybe you should
