At the end of my session on Wednesday they hooked me up to a portable pump for a 48 hour infusion that I could do at home. My initial thought was ok, this is great, I don't need to come in and can just do whatever.

Well, turns out having to carry a bag with 5 feet of plumbing that's connected to you is a bigger pain than you'd think.

First thing I had to figure out was if I could shower. They said I could but they'd need to add a lot of extra tape and covering to where the port connects and I just decided that wouldn't be worth it. Towel bath it is.

Then there are things like trying to get your kid dressed and they make a sudden movement that could snag the line. Or even just being in the kitchen doing something and forgetting you're connected so you start walking away.

And ironically as I'm writing this up one of the errors they mentioned could happened just happened. The machines are kind of sensitive and will give a false read of certain things, but since I'm sitting in the office waiting for my appointment I didn't think I'd need the sheet they gave me that tells me how to reset the errors.

Either way, maybe some things are better left for on-site. At least it'll only be for 48 hours every 6 weeks. I'll make it work.
