    I had a PICC line put in last year when I was going through chemotherapy. It was a very quick painless procedure & the PICC itself worked incredibly well. I had it in for 6 months. You soon get used to it & I forgot it was in half the time. The only time I really had to give it any thought was when showering. Wishing you all the very best & sending lots of positive thoughts your way. I know all the positive wishes I received last year helped immensely 🥰

    Hey!! My daughter called PICC line “artery jewelry” 😂 She says it didn’t hurt at all, and it was SO much easier than having to get IVs done. She loved hers. So glad you are settling in to the hospital. ❤ We are rooting for you.

      I had a chest line IV for several weeks in the ICU. It was so much more comfortable than being stuck every day by incompetent nurses!
      (I’m pretty sure they sent the newbies to practice on me because I had such visible veins, but I couldn’t prove it.)
      Stay busy when you have the energy and the time will fly by. 😊
      Wishing you the best!

    Hi Sarah. My daughter had a central line out in at hospital after a prolonged fit. They tried giving her medication through canulas but her veins kept collapsing. Because she was only six they put her out to put it in but it was a God send. Afterwards her medication applications were painless and easy. She was in hospital for two months. Everyone was so lovely and caring. I'm sending you live and prayers for your journey. And like Steve says make sure they know your fabulous!!😊

    I have only woken up with CVC in my neck. But I have been awake and aware when they put a thick dialysis catheter in my neck.. they don't use as much drugs in my country but I had local anesthesia. Still it was not the most comfortable experience. But as a fellow TGA - we have had worse proscidures done. All the best health and spirit to you Sarah! ❤

    I have seen them put in and at the hospital I worked at, they numb up the area before they start. Some doctors would send them to interventional radiology to place them. You can always ask and see if the doctor would order you something to help with the anxiety. The one thing about doctors is they all do things a wee bit different for each individual patient.

    Hi Sarah, with such a long stay, will you be able to personalise your room a little? I'm not thinking a full bookshelf in the corner but more a knitting space, cat photos, anything to allow you to feel more at home during your stay. I've never been in more than 5 days, so I'm trying to imagine how much you can ma,e the space your own for such a long stay. I hope all goes well tomorrow with this procedure and that you have all your questions answered beforehand.
