Day 2 of home away from home!

DAY TWO OF HOME AWAY FROM HOME!

after the MRI and CT SCAN

there were still more painful things to go through.

• LUMBAR PUNCTURE - In English this would be called a "spinal tap". the spinal fluid looked really good but they said they were gonna send it off, to see what is going on.
• PICC LINE - a catheter that runs from a main vein in the arm to the heart. its supposed to be done as a sterile procedure. much better than an IV will ever be.
•  2 CHEST X-RAYS - to make sure the picc line is in place.

Im not sure if the drs. were just saying it but they said that i made all the grown men look like babies crying and screaming during a spinal tap. well i did cry, but i didnt go all out and make a fool of my self.

the picc line was pretty easy. no where near as bad as the spinal tap. until the x-ray was done and the radiologist had to come back down and replace it. now it hurts. but still much better than any IV


ready for day 3?
