I’ve had complex migraines as long as I can remember. I’ve tried what feels like EVERYTHING. Trying my first round of migraine IV preventative Vyepti today. I will get an IV of the meds every 6 weeks. After 4 rounds of this we will evaluate for any improvements.
But this isn’t about that.
My neurologist sent me to an IV infusion place and I spent some time there this morning.
A quick tour, snacks and drinks offered.
NOBODY is arguing
Nobody is complaining
Nobody is correcting my every word
Nobody is complaining about the dinner menu 12 hours before dinner
No eye rolls, no loud sighs
I don’t realize how much all those things stress me out until I get a break.
The nurse is all
You want the heater on or off?
Would you like the blinds open or shut?
Blanket or no? Fuzzy side of the blanket or slick side?
Do you know how to work the recliner, here I’ll show you it’s really easy.
What drink can I bring you?
Here is the TV remote, you need help with it or do you have it?
Lights on or off?
Do you feel warm enough?
Too warm?
If you would like a snack or hot tea, just push this button.
I think I will never go home. 🤣
Yes I have good kids and a great hubby.
Yes I am blessed to have my family, and I am thankful for them.
But you can be thankful FOR a thing, while also acknowledging that it can be hard at times and that’s where I am in parenting.
