The end result of the surgery on my arm....
This allows me to get the medicine to my lungs faster so that I can heal quicker and get back on my feet and out of the hospital before I go bat shit crazy...

1. Oh yes...
These picc lines weren't used as much when I was doing hospital work. We used central lines that were placed up in one of the big neck veins.

This should be really good, with all those ports. Those enable you to get several different medications/IV solutions all at the same time.

And the placement down on your arm will allow you to administer your own antibiotics once you get home...

Please take care, and get well!

:hi:

3. I have a chronic health problem centered around my lungs...
This allows me to take more control of my health care. minimize my stays in the hospital.
