hey erin-good luck with it all this week,will be thinking of you ,your veins and the week of "rest" as nonsick folks think it is! ha-if they ever knew how much it takes to get picc lines in ,woory about infections from it,rely on the nursing staff for all your meds,which are on their time schedule! i've been hosp. 17 times from jan2001 to march 2007 17 times and about 12 were for a month and a picc line each time. i've only had 1 staph infection but in spite of bloodthinners 3-4 clots in that arm. this is for something totally un related to mg!!good luck!
