Default Bad experience with PICC line placement!!!

Hello all!

Last night was a nightmare! Apparently my right arm is "used up" - no good veins @ all! THe lady tried for 2.5 hours to place a PICC line and just wasn't able to - AUGH!!!!!!

Now my right arm had track marks all up and down it!!!!

On the positive side, my left side has a few good veins left, and she was able to place the line in under 10 minutes!

It truly was a "worst case" scenario for a person who is terrified of needles!!!

We were there for about 10 hours last night, but hopefully 2night will be better!

Talk to you soon!
Erin
