The Long Road

The blood tests started months ago. Then the MRI's, the nerve tests, the x-rays, and then more blood tests than anyone can imagine. Treatments began, once a week. In went the IV. Lethal stuff going into the veins for at least 6 hours at a time 1 day a week for 4 weeks. Okay lets wait, crap now it's dehydration. Now 4 hours of fluids. Okay wait again. More blood work. Today, January 23, 2008, so far so good. Pray for no bruising, no major pain in the bones, no more numbing up my legs, no virus. Just wait. Wait for April 14th - treatments again - so they say.
