i only blooming tolerated it!!!!!!!!!!!!

marvelous marvelous marvelous!

I had it last evening and i was ever so scared, things having gone so wrong before but not this time!

its only 30mins infusion.

after about 3 mins i had this funny taste in my mouth- i thought OH NO its going wrong- my tongue will swell etc.... but it was ok- just a chemically taste from the medicine (something like rubber.... the nurse asked how I knew what rubber tasted like and I blushed and everyone laughed and it passed the time with a smile!)

they had me all monitored up and sister herself sat with me monitoring every few minutes.

it worked out very well.

now! praying it will actually WORK!

Hope you're on the mend soon.

Looking forward to meeting up in May. Take care Jenni
