Been jacked in to the Matr... eerr IV infusion stuffs since about 7:30. Shot of steriod. Shot of benadryl. Two tylenol. And a laaaaaaarge bag-o-Rituxan. Had an allergic reaction, but Dr P came in and looked at me and said "Yup, see it before. Pretty certain it's a reaction to the steroid shot at the beginning of the process and not the Rituxan. Let's keep going."
They had to stop for a bit cause of an nice red itchy rash face issue that started up about 2 hours in. Held off for an hour just fillin' with me saline and now no more red face. Started back up on the Rituxan about a half hour to 45 minutes ago. Being plugged in with the tv giving the news and my feet propped up in a recliner I tend to lose track of time.
Only thing I've noticed so far from the drug itself is that I feel just slightly dizzy. When we went to just saline none of that so going to attribute to Rituxan stuffs. Not bad, just a little weird.
So it goes.... With the delay of their having to stop it for a bit going to be getting out a bit later; not sure just how much at this point. Know they normally close up shop at 3 but I doubt they'll pull my plug and kick me out if it's not done ;-) Hoping any reaction stuffs happen here. Would like to be able to enjoy the holiday weekend.
Couple more hours to go. *yawns* Wait for it...... WAIT FOR IT!!!!
:-D
