PICC 2.0

Lots to update about. Been a hectic week, in and out of the emergency department, what feels like a million dressing changes, a leaky PICC line, and horrible blisters caused either by vancomycin leaking under the skin or an allergic reaction the the tegarderm/statlock/chloraprep/etc. Leaning toward the former, although I really wish it were the latter.

End result - PICC line was pulled and a new one placed in my other arm. A new PICC. A better PICC. As I like to call it, PICC 2.0

If it does as it should, it will lead a long and useful life. If not... well, it will go the way of PICC 1.0. We didn't like PICC 1.0 very much.
