Hopefully at the end of the 4 months we can continue with reconstruction...maybe.
I have to wrap the PICC dressing in Saran Wrap to take showers. Ugh!

Home care nurse
Since I have to give myself the IV antibiotic for 4 months a home care nurse came out tonight to instruct me. She brought my supplies: IV pole, tubing for the IV bags, alcohol wipes, syringes of saline, syringes if heparin (for the line not my tummy), supplies for the nurses to draw blood, sharps container. I think I'll be ok doing it. Just keep things sterile & give the meds at the same time every day. The nurse will come out twice a week to draw blood to keep an eye on my kidney values. Tobramycin can cause kidney problems & hearing problems.
