We got Hannah's ticket booked for Wednesday. She is flying alone on a nonstop. Pray for her travels. She's not a world traveler and TSA isn't exactly helpful with their confusing policies. I hope she skates through easily without a pat down sits by some harmless person, not a creep. : /
Today is my appt with Dr V to discuss "the plan" and all my blood work results. I'm excited and nervous about what is to come.
I likely will lose my picc line today. I got up at 1 am because it's bothering me. I think it has become infected and I am trying to make it to the doc appt to get it removed. I hope they can do that. I don't know where else to go, especially in the middle of the night.
I am really nervous about the removal of this picc because last time it was horrible. It is supposed to slip right out easily, but my body had grown attached to it and it pulled hard and stretched my vein like a rubber band every time she tried to pull it out. It wasn't the most painful thing I have experienced, but it wins the prize as THE most uncomfortable feeling I've ever had in my life. It involuntarily took my breath away every time she pulled. It was a good 15-20 mins instead of 20 seconds.
If this line comes out, I will need another one, or a port put in. After two failed picc lines I'm leaning toward a port. I hope this is possible, or it will mess all my home care plans up. Pray for this situation. I have to keep reminding myself, I'm not in charge here, God knows.
Port does sound better, will pray to that end.
ReplyDeleteThe Lords in charge, Hannah will make it through. Jim I am sure will give her some very good tips ahead of time. Glad Grandpa and Grandma are taking her there and pray they can assist her as much as possible.
