Hi Everyone,
Monday afternoon (tomorrow) my Brother-in-Law is taking me for my first OUTPATIENT Chemotherapy Treatments at my Doctor's. I will receive chemotherapy through the port in my head and I will also receive chemotherapy through the PICC Line in my left arm.
Tuesday, Home Solutions will arrive to change the dressing that holds the PICC Line in place in my left arm. I flush the PICC Line with a solution that includes Heparin twice a day to prevent my blood from coagulating/sealing the PICC Line which would make it unuseable for chemotherapy or to draw blood from.
I've tried to walk twice a day (most days) since I've been out of the hospital.
I normally walk anywhere from 20 minutes to up to one hour each time (depending on my energy level and if I need to get back quickly to get to the bathroom). I'm trying to walk at least one hour each day (OUTSIDE). My legs are not what they used to be so the pace is slow but I am very careful to make sure I do not trip or fall....so slow and methodical is probably the safest bet anyway.
The scenery is the same since I walk back and forth on side roads but it is WONDERFUL to be outside and Enjoy the Blue Skies/White Clouds/SUNSHINE/and at times phenomenal temperatures.
Please Enjoy Your Sunday and Thank You for your continued thoughts and prayers.
