Well, yesterday confirmed that I really am a big girl’s blouse, lol !! Having my picc line put in was horrible. My veins are apparently very close to my arteries so it took a long time to find a suitable place to put it in. I was so tense the poor nurse found it almost impossible to get the line in so a procedure that should have taken they say 20 mins actually took 1 1/2 hours! Full respect to the nurses, the one doing the line and the one who had the impossible job of calming me down, they were both fantastic, truly caring, considerate and very helpful. Still, that’s another hurdle done and dusted, another unknown that has turned into a known, which means less to stress about in the future. It's amazing how tired emotional stress outbursts like I had yesterday can make you, so I slept really quite well last night, for the first time in a long while. Feel much better for it today. Just adapting now to remembering not to knock the line but trying not to become to anal about it at the same time X
I was too late for my appt with my breast care nurse which was meant to be after the picc line appt but she also was just fantastic, and we have now arranged to fit me with what I call my Barbie booby before my chemo next week. Strangely I am looking forward to that as I expect it to be quite funny.
My love to all, wrapped in hope and best wishes XX
