All the 'experiences' I've had to learn from were from cancer patients...and one CIDP'er....
I guess, I'd go down a menu of questions I've picked up from meeting and reading about others' experiences...
1- How long is it gonna really HURT? Days, weeks, what?
2- When can I USE this thing?
3- How will I know that nurses are infusing me correctly?
4- How long is this thing gonna last? And, if I've got to get a new one, what will that entail?
Last
5- How can I tell if there is a problem, of any kind? What should I look out for in the short and long run? Admit your'e immune compromised and that you want to know about all the possibles...not that you will have them, just that you and your Mike want to know and be alert for possible problems, so's to avoid them...
Honestly? I am kind of jealous! It seems like a humane way to deal with infusions and bad veins! OK I AM plain jealous! 's truly! - j
