17. I'm not familiar with IV contrast.

Avi's death was so sudden. His T count was low after Halloween (he came, helped hang an art show, and marched in the parade as a fairy! :rolf: :cry and his doctor prescribed a sulfa drug as a prophylactic. He died from internal chemical burns in the most hideous way imaginable the week before Thanksgiving in 1991. Now, if I have any kind of teensy reaction to a medication, I cross it off my list as an option. My other darling, my son (we adopted each other) is the one who survived but has intense phantom pain, like phantom limb pain. He barely made it; they called in his birth mother at the last minute to say her goodbyes, but bless his heart! My chosen baby boy is too contrary to die!

I worry about everyone who has to take a lot of medicine. The more types of medicine a person takes, the more likely they are to have an adverse reaction. I know you are taking good care of yourself, Lucinda. Don't forget how important you are to all those who love you. Have a happy Christmas!
