1. I can plan around my husband's work schedule!
2. I can make and freeze meals in advance for my family. Today I made 4 meals in the time I usually make spaghetti (maybe a little longer since my 4-year-old was helping!). I made enough spaghetti noodles for two meals--spaghetti and linguini with broccoli and crab, AND hamburger helper for two meals. Tonight I'm going to cook a roast in the crockpot while I sleep and tomorrow during the day I'm going to cook chicken noodle soup in the crockpot. Crockpots are great time savers!
This is possible because I am feeling well, instead of waiting until I feel like I'm dying before getting IV antibiotics. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
Second topic: I was talking to my dad tonight about having to plan for an overnighter to get my PICC line placed. Then, we were discussing when I was sicker possibly getting a port. My dad stated that it seemed like to him that I needn't wait til I was sicker, why not get one just for convenience. So, do people get ports for convenience (so they don't have to go in overnight to get PICC lines)? I usually go in once a year for antibiotics, although since I got pregnant last June, I've been in 3 times and now a 4th time for my tuneup. Hopefully, I go back to my norm of once a year. If that is the case, would anybody recommend getting a port?
