Scared

I had given the IV fluids with the nurse there and she now expected me to go for it! The day was here, I was on my own for giving the fluids to Mike through his port. To say I was scared as an understatement, I was not sure how this was going to go. I was afraid of hurting him, screwing something up, just an absolute nervous wreck. I did all the normal things through the day, we went to radiation, I worked all day. I made sure Harrison had dinner and then it was time for me to give the fluids. Mike was on the couch, he was ready, he had all the confidence in the world in me, glad one of us did.

I washed my hands really good, even though I would be wearing gloves I still washed my hands, just to make sure everything was sterile. I got all the supplies that I would need ready and placed everything on the table by the couch. Mike was patiently waiting for me. I started by flushing his port, I did awesome if I do say so myself. I was feeling pretty good about starting the fluids, when Mike says, dont get any air bubbles I could die, REALLY?? That is what he is going to say right now? Good grief!! I did everything the nurse had told me, and Ill be darn the fluids started going through the tube! I had done it!! Felt pretty damn good!
