Hi, and thanks for coming back for Thursday Night Infusion! My heart is so happy to be at home with my sweet Ohana. I pushed myself to prepare the best Thanksgiving meal ever! I was wise and asked for my husband and kids to peel, chop, prep everything possible, so I only had to focus on seasoning the food. Well the menu was pretty close to, what I’d cook before HAE. Granny would be very proud of me (G-d rest her soul) making family favorites like, cornbread dressing, yams, greens, peaches & dumplings to name a few dishes. After eating dinner the activities of the day caught up with me, so I laid down. After the family recovered from their food comas, my daughter (infusion buddy) assisted me with the Ruconest infusion. Entertainment tonight was the finale of DWTS, even though we heard who won, it was great to watch the dances. My daughter was over the moon that Jordan and Lindsay are the champions!!!
With the extra strain I was putting on my body, I’m glad it was an infusion day. Later in the evening I noticed some mild swelling in my face, top lip, and eyelids. My body responded quickly to the Ruconest and no other medical intervention was needed.
How well did your body hold up this Thanksgiving? Do you have ways to deal with the stress of the holiday? What’s your favorite dish to make and/or eat? When it is possible take some time to share about your Thanksgiving. As always everyone has a story to tell, don’t be afraid to tell yours
