IV free is the way to be!
I decided that keeping the IV in for another month was just more than I'm willing to deal with, and that I deserve to be unencumbered for at least part of the summer. So yesterday the nurse came out and pulled the PICC line, and today I removed the pressure dressing, and I am finally freee! Now I just need to stay on the hydration/airway clearance/nutrition/exercise bandwagon, and maintain both my weight and my lung function without the support of IV hydration. My doctor is really, painfully good at giving lectures, so here’s hoping I can keep it together and not get an “I told you so” speech at my next appointment!
