Hey,
Sorry to hear your not feeling great.
I've been doing home IVs since I was like 12. I always get my picc and go right home, unless I'm really sick, or trying a new med and need observation.
The biggest thing for me, like Amy said, is I don't sit still sometimes. I should lay in bed and watch movies, and rest, but there's the dishes to do, the dog to walk, the floors to vaccum.....and I have no shortage of help. Everybody offers to help, to clean, everything, but I stubbornly insist on doing it all myself. I'm working on asking for help more. So I would say if you can learn to let the dishes in the sink, stay home, and just let all that stuff go-Go for it!
There's nothing like laying in your own bed with your own pillow. Eating real, healthy food. And staying as far away as possible from hospital germs.
Don't be afraid of it. And PICC lines are long!!!!! It would take alot to rip it out of your arm! Actually standing there and concientously pulling it out! I've caught it on door handles, dog paws, everything! Believe me, I've never had it come out, even slightly. The tape tugs, and that's what you feel, not it pulling out.
It'll work for you.
