Morning all
So we made it to the end of week 3!
Little apprehensive about today, picc clean and flush, now, each time ive had this done it has been really quite sore, apart from 1 time, the nurse was a little more sensitive to the situation, this one other nurse seems very blasé when doing it, like turning to talk or get something whilst she is still holding the line, a couple of times ive had to stop myself from grabbing her arm as she turns, im getting sick of them saying it shouldn't be sore, it isnt until you get going on it!
Anyhoo, i try not to dwell on these negative things, its not good for the body or mind so as always, we keep moving forward 
That’s great that you’re over halfway now Happyforager2 although I’m sorry that you’re dealing with the insensitivity of the nurses dealing with your picc line, as Irene has said point out in no uncertain terms when it hurts & don’t let them tell you it shouldn’t!!
Good luck for the week ahead.

Nikki65 thank you
I do make them more than aware that its sore, ive found out that i have a tendency to shout swear words when its sore, theres a lot of apologies from my side, i assure them im not like that in everd
conversation, its obviously a built in coping response, whatever works 
The weekend has been a little messed up, had to go in today as the machines were having maintenance this Tuesday just gone, have been enjoying the rest at weekends but it needs doing so we keep movi forward
Happyforager2 you’re doing amazingly well & what’s a couple of swear words between friends eh? Yes I hit a week that was affected by machine maintenance, I ended up going in on a Sunday instead of the Monday. You’ve got this.
Nicola
