I thought I would share this with you. If anybody is offered a PICC - don’t hesitate - have one put in.
i had a PICC Line inserted last week, due to difficulty in being able to get a canular into my arm.
i was a bit apprehensive about it to begin with, but following on from the benefits that were outlined to me, i went ahead and had it done.
yesterday, was the first time it was used for my treatment., well what a game changer, mo messing around trying to find a vein, so clean and tidy,
the insertion of the PICC was absolutely painless, in fact I did not even know the procedure had been done.
district nurse comes to the house, to clean and change dressing weekly, together with taking blood.
So easy, don’t hesitate.
hope this post reassures anybody who is being offered a PICC line to help with their treatment.
good luck everybody.
