Advice & Tips
I used to have a home health nurse come, but now I go to the infusion lab at the local hospital. Helps with a nice couple days of energy....I like that :) It's no trouble since both of my kids are in elementary school and the hospital has a very flexible scheduling policy. I can schedule a month ahead on a schoolday morning.
