PICC LINES AND ORANGE ARMS

#OOTD

I have a PICC line now.

What is a PICC line?

I have no idea what it stands for, I’ll be honest. But it’s a long term access point to my bloodstream, so that I can have intravenous antibiotics at home or in hospital and not have to worry about being stabbed even more.

How long will it stay in?

It’ll last about six months. So.. that long.

Did it hurt?

Nope. You’re under local anaesthetic. Feels weird though. Like a little shock inside my arm.

That’s pretty much it.

Now onto what annoyed me:

ORANGE. ALCOHOLIC. DISINFECTANT. SHIT.

It stains your skin for D A Y S .

I look like I’ve been fisting oompah loompas.

Otherwise it was alright.

Pretty sure I’ll be going home soon.

I should fucking hope so, I’ve paid two months rent and I’ve been there for like a week max.

(who’s Max??)

Adios amigos.
