Daratumumab Infusion 3, a thing of the past

Daratumumab infusion #3 was yesterday–nailed it.  Kind of.  This time the medicine was much more concentrated, in a 500 ml bag, not a 1000 ml bag, but same amount of Daratumumab.  I had a slight reaction (and I mean really slight–lips got just a little tingly), so they had to slow down the infusion.  Which means we got there at 6 AM, got started at 7:30 AM (the fastest they can get everything rolling), and finished at 12:40 PM.  Unfortunately, that tiny little reaction means we go back to the 1000 ml bag next Monday.  This slows the infusion back down and is really a cramp in my style.

Rochester has had Texas-like heat for the past three days, but this morning we had tons of rain and a drop in the temperature to 65 degrees.  Lovely.  David and I hit the public library book sale and scored many books for a total of $18.  So we are set for reading materials for the foreseeable future.

Did I mention that Olive went into heat the very day we arrived in Rochester?  That has been no.fun.at.all.  She is an insane dog in heat, and we will remedy that little problem as soon as we are back in Austin.  Let’s just say that she is not discriminating in her choice of boy dogs, and we are watching her like a hawk.  As a result, the high point in her day is watching for the mailman, see below.

Pathetic, isn’t it?
