So Long PICC Line

Nurse C. came today and removed my PICC line. PICC, Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter, if you've never the pleasure of having one. It is used to deliver antibiotics, and I had my last dose today. Getting it placed was slightly painful, but my mind may just have been focused on the creey-factor, having plastic tubing threaded into a vein. My first one at the rehab became clogged and had to be removed. I watched. Very high creepy factor, like observing a scrawny worm being pulled from your insides. Today I did not watch. But painless. Tomorrow I go see the cardiologist. A little light-headed today, but otherwise, continuing daily improvement.
