I hated Lovenox, Nadia. I was always too chicken to give myself shots as well. Fortunately, I was only on it for a few weeks, now I take pills. Still a pain but that’s how it goes. I have my first pouchoscopy at the end of the month so hopefully everything looks okay! Take care!

Thanks! How are you doing, Dennis?! Yes, I keep having issue after issue.. I’m sure u know the drill.. I’m on Lovenox 2 times a day for 6 months.. Injections in my tummy… UGHHH.. I caught the clot in time, but 2 pieces broke off and almost hit my heart. so im thankful they didn’t.. and im still here to make vids! Take care!! keep in touch!

Hey, great video once again! I’m sorry you keep having these issues though. Are you on blood thinners right now? Did the blood clot cause any serious problems or did you catch it soon enough?
Take care,
Dennis

Thanks, I have had multiple picc lines.. this one is my 5th one. and its been in my arm for 4 months and will have to stay in until November. I have a blood clot around it so it has to stay in. I went twice a day to get the dressing changed but after the infection is gone, it get changed once a week. it sucks, no matter what…. but i have to stay positive its just what i do!! My attitude is a big part of my recovery.. Thanks for your comment. much love, Nadia BTW how r u doing?!?

Wow! You handle having a picc line so good! I’ve never had one, but I’ve had tons of iv’s. How often do you have to go to the hospital to get the dressing changed?
