Nap if you wanna.
I did.

(60,145 posts)5. Two more Chemo sessions. They could not get the IV in at first.
The vein rolled. The probing for the vein kinda hurt. They moved up my arm and got it.
Nap time for me.

I hope you have a good nap!

Solly Mack
(92,902 posts)13. Yeah. My nurses grew frustrated with me and opined I should have gotten a port.

I decided it wasn't my veins.
alfredo
(60,145 posts)14. I've a history of rolling veins.
Solly Mack
