Hi! I've had my PICC line for almost 12 weeks. I am getting home IV fluids and IV Phenergan (for nausea). My PICC is on the inside of my right arm, just above the elbow. They gave me a fishnet looking type of thing to wear on it, so it doesn't get caught on everything. I take care of it myself as far as flushing and putting the meds in, but a nurse comes out once a week to change the dressing. They did have to put some extensions on the PICC itself so I could reach it with my right hand to put the meds in...
The biggest pain is covering it so you don't get it wet while showering, but if you go to a medical supply store, you can buy a sleeve that you can put over it and fasten it so it doesn't get wet. They have them to put over casts but it works perfect with my PICC. Earlier this year I had a different PICC that was for home antibiotics, and it was pretty much the same thing.
The actual insertion of the PICC didn't hurt, they numb the area first. Hope this helps! :bouncing:
