I am now off the daptomycin and PICC is out
Yesterday my home nurse came for the last time this go around to take out PICC and draw blood. Usually we take blood through the PICC but we took the PICC out and realized it had a long blood clot at the end. Good thing it is out, but we tried for 30 minutes to find a vein that would hold up. Found tiny one in right hand and got a few drops. I do not know how they will draw blood now? I am hoping we get this figured out somehow. So in two weeks we can take an aspiration on the right hip to see if there is infection or metal or plastic fragments floating around where the parts have worn out. Then we will decide how to proceed. They may or may not let me swim. Still very cautious. That's all for today. The sun is shining.
