So lazy...

I'm tired today.

This morning, after a handful of pills and my oatmeal, I tinkered away on my Laptop working on some expenses and things of the sort.

My IV ran just fine, as I'm just getting better at it I guess, though one of the nurses told me yesterday that after 24 years of nursing she still occasionally forgets to engage the brake on the line when prepping IV.

Finally I stepped outside for a bit and trimmed some of my tomato plants, hope the weather stays warm and dry so I end up with a bounty quality tomatoes.

Afterwards, just sitting on the couch, I accidentally pulled on my arm just a bit, felt just a tiny bit of pain and then saw that there was just a tiny bit of bleeding right where the line goes into my arm, very minimal. I have an appointment booked for Saturday with the picc line nurse and may very well stick with that appointment to get that cleaned up. I want to be really careful about avoiding infection, so I'll see how it looks tomorrow morning and decide whether I should go in sooner or later. Of course being such a newbie, I'm substantially freaked out by any little anomaly.

Otherwise I've just been doing a whole lot of laying around today, very fatigued. Again this late afternoon and early evening I'm feeling that heart discomfort again, which is certainly an uneasy feeling.

I've just got to muster up the energy to make some dins tonight. Will likely be some left over ratatouille with green beans and potatoes. Vegetarian tonight...
