Sorry your still not feeling well.
Do me a favor. IF you start with a fever no matter how small it is GET to the ER. My PICC line is what put me in ICU with seizures and stuff from getting infected. Also if you start with a fever disconnect the TPN because it will keep pushing the infection through your veins. Dr. Jones had me do that for the 2 hour trip to Indy.
so a fever is the first sign to look for? i have home health coming in twice a week they take blood from my picc line too-did u experience that vagal response when they put yours in? it was a terrible feeling i though i was dying-do u eat with your tpn? i figured id atleast start feeling better by now but im still feeling real weak and i been on the bannaa bags and the protonics for 5 days then the tpn for about 8 days now? did u have a ulcer? mine went from 6 mm nov 07 to 10 mm jan 16 to 16 mm jan 31 get another scope thursday-i take my liquid carafate n prevacid but i dont no if its working?
