PICC line dressing change in the morning. That will not be fun... the non-alcoholic cleaning swabs did finally arrive last week, so the insertion site shouldn't sting when it is cleaned, but the site has decided to bleed on and off last over the last 6 days. The blood, now dried, is stuck to a scab that wouldn't come off last week. The nurse wouldn't pull it off then because it hurt too much, but it has to come off tomorrow. My biggest dilemma until then is whether or not to eat before the dressing change. Somehow I think it doesn't matter... I will be nauseous either way.
The dressing for the surgical incision was changed to day. There was still some blood (at least, I hope it was blood) coming from one spot, and everything is still really swollen and numb. Fingers crossed everything continues to heal well. I am still experiencing some bone pain so I am hopping everything is going the way it should, what ever that way may be =P.
