My Dad's Heliopsis is blooming again!!!
It's already taller than I am so it is a fast grower since the frost this winter knocked it down to nothing!
The iron infusion was very interesting on Monday, all went well without any adverse reactions except that headache continued to grow in intensity so that I was in bed with the curtains closed! That night was a misery so I was a wreck by morning.
So I did a little bit of painting later in the day
just to remind me I was still able.
The headache lasted all day Tuesday and I didn't do much more than add a few layers to this painting.
I did sleep well Tuesday night and felt much better in the morning and even felt that spark that is me which I haven't sensed for these long months. I went for another infusion Wednesday afternoon and told them the headache was a strong one and they said they knew what to do! It worked! After they infect the iron into the IV over 5 minutes, they hook me up to a saline solution for 30 minutes. They used a larger dose of the saline for a bit longer and it worked! I did get a headache but a much milder one! I just might be getting excited! I don't go again until Monday so I am hoping I can ENJOY the next few days!!!
So glad they had a solution!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a trooper. Glad the second one was less painful. I’m hoping you are back to your happy self by the end of these infusions. I laughed at myself at you Heliopolis. On first look I thought they were dandelions. In my defense I am not a gardener at all. Yea for new fabric and patterns from previous post!
ReplyDeleteHeliopsis are crazy growers! Mine are getting the Chelsea Chop next month to see I can keep them a little tamer this year.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your little paintings! I need to do more of that!
I am glad to learn that the saline helped with you terrible headache! I used to get migraines and remember the pain I had. Yours seems even more intense. Do please keep us posted on how you are doing. Prayers lifted that the infusions will get you back to yourself!! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they got that headache thing sorted out. Whew....
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are lovely. I just bought some masking solution to try on mine. It will be an adventure for sure since I've never used it before.
Brilliant! Sensational news.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that this is the start of a return to a healthier you!! Lovely painting.
