I used to be a home infusion nurse and I did this all the time. Then technology got even better and we send patients home with pumps that delivers the medication when needed and then they come to the hospital once a day for us to change the bag of medication.

Funny that you mention having a PICC. My medical device that I instruct on is very similar to a PICC. It is in between a PICC and a peripheral IV which is what you had in the hospital. When I read your story about being poked so many times, I said hmmmmm, Glen needs one of our products! Dependent on what your medications are and the length you are going to be on them, my device could have worked just as well. It's called the Powerwand. Google it. I instruct clinicians how to insert it and maintain it.

Happy Healing, Glen! Make sure you do your facial flexing! (BTW, that video is totally weird. Funny that the product doesn't freak me out. It's just as weird as the Shake Weight. The woman in that video freaks me out. Creepy.)

Doing another hit of the vanco right now.

Morning all. I'm with Rick on this one. That and she wont stand still long enough to determine if she needs a healthy application of toothpaste.

A few more hours until the weekend. Must keep pushing...

Pulling hair out in studio. Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I had a nice quiet day at home. Gonna do another hit of vanco in an hour.

Okay who missed me?

Bueller...................

The operation to put in the PICC was interesting. I just need it until the end of the month. The I will be done with the vanco treatment.

Bueller...............

Rick! It was a quiet day on the thread without you.

Glad you doing well Glen. You should take your walker to Richards and ruffle his feathers for a bit

It is just under a mile to his house. I think I would wear out the tennis balls on my walker going that far. I am not cleared to drive yet.

Okay we need to get you a rascal

evening all. off to dinner back later.

You sure active for an old guy David

Don't forget the wafer-thin mint!

Its only rock and roll but i like it.

That's funny, Glen! And yes, the PICC insertion procedure is interesting but our device makes it much simpler and safer. We hope in the future all PICCs, midlines, and central lines will be put in using our technique.

And uggggggggg!!!! I have found two scorpions in my house this last month. Maybe I need to get my house sealed again. I paid 3 grand to get it sealed seven years ago. I hate those boogers. I got stung by one once and my leg was numb for a week.
