I'm sorry Diane!!! I hate that feeling of losing ground after you've improved and gained, etc. It does seem to happen though and you have to fight for it all over again. I hope you gain it all back and then some - asap. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I am bummed for you too, especially your bad experience at the IR. Before getting my port, I would only be able to have the interventional radiology guys start my picc. No floor nurse could ever get one in my arm for several years. Each one's ego seemed to come into play and wanted to try, and I always said 'no way hossay, put me on the list for the IR to do it.' It would bee too painful otherwise. I'm sorry your experience was so bad! Have you thought about a port at all? I finally decided to get a port so I didn't have to deal with all the pain of Piccs anymore. That was my main deciding factor, personally.

I'll be thinking of you.

Cheers to getting it all back! <img src="i/expressions/wine.gif" border="0">

Ha, I had this happen so many times too. Once, I had an anesthesiologist try 7 (yes SEVEN) times to get in an IV for a procedure and I finally said "Can we get in someone that is good at doing this?" and he indignantly said "I AM good at doing this" and I just laughed and him and told him to leave.

I'm sorry you're going through this Diane, just know that we've all felt like that too. Things add up, then finally there is that one last straw that makes it all come crashing down. When you are in pain and can't breathe, it's very, very hard to remain objective and optimistic and say "Hey, this is gonna be ok". I'm very sorry about your ordeal with the midline and IVs and everything; I've been there too but I don't wanna get too offtrack and share a million of my stories though. Unless you want to hear some for a good laugh or to take your mind off things, then feel free to PM me. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Hang in there, relax, and don't worry about numbers and results... they will come. Just focus on the moment, and distract yourself if need be. /hugs and take care <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

Well, i am in the hospital since last Friday night. I called my Dr. on Friday and told him i was having pleural pain and he suggested i come into the hospital . I am on oxygen and iv's,and have no idea how long i will be here. I am very stressed by the need for oxygen. I have never needed it before and it scares me so badly that i do now. I am feeling a little better with each day, and the pain is getting a bit less also. I dont think i have ever been this sick before and it really scares me. Please keep me in your prayers. I dont know when i can get online again. Dale brought his laptop for me to use tonight, but it drives me crazy to use this thing....lol
I hope everyone is well and i will update when i can......
