Home Health Nurse Visit

When my Home Health Nurse came to see me yesterday, she drew blood from one of two access points of my PICC line and today the access point from which she drew the blood will not work...  is there a connection here with drawing blood or did that one access point simply crap out?  Pitfalls I suppose of not being in the hospital and having almost immediate access to everything...  as long as you are willing to wait in line.

Now, it appears that someone will need to come out to the house and see if they can get that access point working because there is less risk doing that than inserting a new PICC line at home, especially since I have 21 days remaining on my IV Antibiotic Treatments at home every 8 hours.

On the bright side, I was able to finally shave after being released last Friday which is longer than I usually wait to shave...  usually it is every other day.
