Now I sit quietly listening to my little pump whirl next to me and contemplating how my life changes now that I am on TPN. Truth is I don't know what is going to happen, but I really can't wait to find out what happens next in my not so normal life.
Today I begin a new journey. I am using TPN to treat my Crohns. It's exciting and scary, but overall, this treatment causes hope. It gives me hope that I can reach remission, even though I haven't been able to do that in the 8 years since I was diagnosed. It's been nerve wracking setting up my own TPN, but years of medical experience definitely helps. We had to flush my port, purge the line, set up the pump, draw up the vitamins, insert the vitamins, and send up a few prayers along the way.
