I've obviously got tough old veins! Last time I had to have a PICC line put in, they took 3 or 4 attempts and I ended up getting wheeled down to an x-ray room to have the task completed. This time, the nurse took 3 attempts on 2 different veins before it finally slid in. Perfectly positioned, though - as confirmed by a quick x-ray.
Nurse afterwards showed me where my blood had spurted out all over the computer during one of the unsuccessful attempts! Really glad I wasn't aware of that at the time!
Also got shown the sort of pump I'm going to be given on Monday. It's pretty bulky, but there is a long connector, so it can be handled pretty easily.
