PICC Line Dressing Change

You'll have to excuse my armpit hair hanging out of my shirt (what's going on there!!!???) Here's a video demonstrating a typical PICC line dressing change. Not sure what a PICC line is? Click here.

Hi Ronnie, I just recently started following your blog. I never had PICC lines, but I did have midlines that ran up to about my shoulder area. Got a port now. I didn't realize they stitch it up like that! Learn something new everyday. I think its great that you're covering your incarceration like this!

Only had stitches on a midline once. I always get nervous during dressing changes that they are going to pull the line out!

Hope you're starting to feel better =)

Hilarious joke! You and the nurse were great video demonstrators! Lucy has had a PICC line while in the NICU at just days old! Can you imagine how small that tube must have been to fit into a newborn vessel?! CRAZYNESS! Hope you get out of the hoppy soon! Cheers!
