Re: [QUAD-L] use caution

I had a friend in MI that backed out onto his lift (full size Ford van) and rolled off the end when the plate failed to tip up on the end of the lift. He was killed in the fall. I hope you're talking about a mini-van, Dave. Just a word of caution for big van users. Bill --The one in FL C6

Re: [QUAD-L] Flap surgery and Picc line

Mine was Dr ordered for a home health nurse *to do* *it*. I've had a PICC line in at home twice in the last 4 years. The less my husband has to do (and he is doing 99+% of my daily care) the better. Are you the same Floreen as on the SCIC list? Lori On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 5:06 PM, floreen

Re: [QUAD-L] Flap surgery and Picc line

I actually just got finished with long term antibiotics and cared for my own pic line.  I would just do what the nurse tells you to.  She should set it up, give him  his first dose and show you how to do it.  I hope it all goes well for you, Stacy From:

They have you flush it after each dose.  Make sure you follow those instructions because the pic could get a blood clot then you will really have problems.  Mine wasn't properly flushed in the hospital and then they had to call the iv team to my room to get it unclogged.
