What you see in the picture below is what I'll be infusing Monday-Sunday.
So, I know you're asking what the deal is with the little bulb thingies. They're called elastomeric pumps, eclipses, or grenades. I, of course, prefer the latter. :) The one big bonus to the Clinda grenades is that they don't have to be hung on an IV pole. They don't work by gravity. I can walk around the house with it in my pocket if I want to. Since it's a little hard to explain I went to look for a YouTube video on how to infuse them. Sure enough...I found a great one! The only thing she doesn't mention is if there's some kind of Pinterest project I can make out of them. I'll have enough time to get my creative juices flowing while those antibiotic juices are going. Yes, I'm kidding about that because I know someone is going to think I was serious. They will, of course, be responsibly dispatched, posthaste, in the proper receptacle. It's medical waste, after all.
There's a special little place in our living room that I have lovingly given the moniker "Dea's Dispensary." It's where all of the magic potions are kept. When we lived on Okinawa I bought this 4-bin system for recycling. It cost $35. I like to keep things because you never know when you'll be able to use them again. Here's m proof. Two duty stations later I have the exactly what I need to keep my IV meds organized. The folder on the floor is where everything from the home health agency gets filed. It makes that one part of my life so much easier.
The show must go on!
Yeah!
The show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin.
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!
