I went to see my doc out in Malibu last Thursday. We talked about my increasing joint pain, etc. Decided it's time to Be Aggressive, B-E Aggressive! (If you were a cheerleader, you know). So we are going to try at least 6 weeks of IV Rocephin. I'll let everyone know when this is going to happen. I want to get it done at my docs hospital Cedars-Sinai. They really know what they are doing with PiCC lines & I am a wimp, so that's probably the best place to go. I'm going to call my docs office today & see what's going on with that.
The day of my appointment, we decided to take our 16 year old & one of her friends with us to Malibu. After all, my docs office is literally seconds from the ocean. So we joined the girls at the beach. Where we went to the beach there also happens to be a bird sanctuary. There were hundreds of cool birds. GIANT pelicans flew over our heads. We made some bird friends while we were there. There were a lot of jelly fish that had washed up on shore. We had to be careful not to step on them It was a lovely day. Until we got up to leave. My husband so kindly pointed out that the backs of my legs were FRIED! I forgot to put sunscreen on the backs of my legs!! I am still burned badly & it's been 4 days. I have never burned like this in my life (well except for the time when I was going to college & I went in a bad tanning bed & ended up in bed for 3 days vomiting from sun poisoning). Can you say PAIN?

I have to be honest and say when I found out you were getting a picc line I was a bit jealous. My hubby and I just feel this is the best way for me to get treatment but with us being in limbo with docs and not knowing how my new doc treats lyme we aren't sure we can do this. I am sorry I felt that way.
I am glad you are getting it though because I know it will help you! Good luck my dear friend
wishing you luck with your new PICC line. Do you have all the supplies you need?
Casey - I COMPLETELY understand where you are coming from. If you had gotten your PiCC line in before me, I'd be jealous too. But I a YOUR guinea pig, remember? I had bicillin first & now I have a PiCC first & when you get yours you can call on me for help/advice. We can be infusion buddies.
