It is all about the treatment baby.
I sit here in the treatment recliner a tube connected to a needle which drags on the inner skin of my arm. Despite my optimism going in to this regarding everything going fine sometimes positive thinking is not enough for the body has a mind of its own and it will do whatever it wants. They started me slowly 25pi. At the half hour mark I went from fine to a furry of blue scrubs surrounding me. One breathing treatment, a bunch of anti-reaction drugs, and an hour I am back to where I started a slow drip. They just raised me to 50pi if I have no more reactions I will remain at this level for the rest of the day. I will have to come back early tomorrow morning to finish. I fell a bit like a fish being acclimatted to a new tank. Now all I can do is sit here and wait I will post this first part then update it when I have more information.
