Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 My husband and I are faced with the probability of at home IV antibiotics and would like to hear from any of you who have gone through this. I have heard of a PICC line that goes into my arm and follows the vein into my chest. Sounds dangerous - my Dad had a problem with a procedure years ago that he internally bled for 24 hours before it was discovered and it kept him from having the surgery that could have helped him. This is the part that worries me - I'm on Medicare and would have to go to the hospital to get my meds - no problem for me, I can deal with that - it's the PICC line - Are there more than one kind? Looking forward to hearing from anyone who has dealt with this! Thanks, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
