Chemo Day Three - New equipment

I am posting again from the iPod touch. This round of chemo with the pump at home seems to take more out of me than normal.
One problem did crop up this week. Since the last round of chemo we have switched insurance companies. For the most part the doctors have stayed the same. One switch is the service providers for equipment and st home feedings. For the st home part of the chemo treatment this meant a new pump provider. Unfortunately the first pump had a problem where it kept reporting a air bubble in the line. After reseting the pp the error would clear for about 45 minutes and then return. I spoke to the doctors office and the pump provider sms the next day went into the doctors office so they could take a look at it. I had to go in to have the dressing on the PICC line changed as well.

There was a small air bubble in the bag that they cleared and I thought that everything was good to go. Then shortly after getting home the alarm went off again. This time when I called the pump supplier it was decided to replace the pump. They sent another pump that afternoon and talked me through hooking it up. That was pretty so simple and did not involve unhooking any of the lines from the chemo drugs. That I would not have done. I may not have mentioned this before bot they treat the chemo drugs like toxic waste. They even gave me a special kit designed to handle toxic waste spills in case there were any leaks. Yep, that is the stuff they use to go after the cancer cells. Its considered toxic waste on the outside of you bot is a cancer killing medicine inside of you. The irony is pretty amazing.

Other than that hiccup things are going along as expected. One nice thing to know is that after this round of chemo there is only one more round left. Then its just about recovery. Yippee
