Hi Everyone,

The last couple weeks I have been a bit under the weather. I was supposed to go into the hospital for 21 days, but I have no one near my home to take care of my son. He is doing so well in school this year and I refuse to mess it up for him.

Now they have agreed to home health care for me. They have suggested to go to the hospital for a picc line to have one placed.

Can't they just come in and give me an IV everyday without a picc. line? Even an IV to me always feels like I am getting stabbed with a ice pick.

Also, aren't I at more risk for infection with a picc line? Not to mention I think it could be much more painful with RSD.

I appreciate your suggestions. Much Love, Roz xxx
