April 12, 2013 - 5 days post operation- Introducing the Picc Line

The picc line and infusion. Some have you have been asking, so what's better than a picture?
The line is inserted in the upper inner portion of my left arm. The ball you see is the vancomycin infusion that is infused by pressure created in the ball. Genius, huh?  The other antibiotic is administered on a portable pump. Two hours for the vancomycin, 0.5 hours for the zosyn three times a day. Then all the flushes and such and it makes for a fun morning and evening. 
Now to wrap it all in seran wrap and tape every morning so I can shower and keep it dry.
It really is a hoot and hollar around here.
