and my Picc line is really bothering me. They put it in my right, dominant arm. Is that common? It is hard to let that arm rest since I am right handed. I seem to have a low pain tolerance or something. I was nervous when it was placed and did not think to ask if they ever put it in the left arm. I am sure when I wake up from surgery, I may not even notice it!

I can't believe it is here! Prayers welcome:)

OH, my surgery is around 8:30 am

They should have put it in your non-dominant arm. You poor thing. Good luck tomorrow! You'll be on the Dark Side before you know it!
