We had a good time back in Vegas but now it's time to come back to Salt Lake to get on with the treatment.
Who could have imagined how hard it would be to get my Central Line bandage changed. Everyone thought it would be no big deal to get a health care place to change the bandage and flush the lines. What they forgot or didn't know is that in order for someone to do this work, you must have a signed order by a Nevada licensed doctor and I don't have one. LDS Hospital tried faxing orders and called a lot of places and I even tried going to a Quick Care center to see if they would help me, but no one could or would.
So even though it was a couple of days longer than they wanted, they made an appointment for me with the Infusion Center at Dixie Hospital and we left Wednesday morning to make the appointment. They were very nice and when I told my story to the nurse, she told me that Utah has the same law as Nevada, that it would have to be a Utah doctor to give the orders to change the bandage at a Utah health facility.
We have an appointment tomorrow (Friday) and I will start my shots to be ready for the collection process to begin again, probably next Tuesday.
Amanda and Ryan are coming up to spend the weekend with us, we are looking forward to spending time with them, hope the weather doesn't lock us in the condo all weekend. I'll write more in a few days.
