Cannula

[Tracey1972]

Well it's in saying last place. Ow very awkward place and saying foot next arms have give up very sorry

😕. Defo not the best of locations but hopefully this one will stay (legs do like to get caught/tangled so much more than arms!!!). Think positive and hopefully not too long til you get the PICC in and secured xxx

I do hope the cannula stay in place.

Oh 'eck, that looks awkward. Never had one there before and never in my feet, though was threatened once. I do hope the lock down ends soon for you.

[Tracey1972 in reply to WheezyAnne]

Yea very sore and uncomfortable they said this is a last result place I have rain out of veins if this one goes before the pick line goes in going in my feet

[WheezyAnne]

Have you had any in your feet before? Just the thought makes me cringe, though veins in my feet look juicier than the ones in my arm. Keep drinking that lukewarm water.

[Tracey1972 in reply to WheezyAnne]

No a friend of mine does and said they hurt big time doc said gains in my arms r like tiny spiders legs lol

[WheezyAnne]

There is a cream that is used on children, which makes the veins more visible. I think it is about time they used it in adults too. Sorry, forgotten the name.

[Tracey1972 in reply to WheezyAnne]

My veins in my arms r warn out like doc said there used so much they have had enough now x

[WheezyAnne]

Maybe good job going to you feet. It will be an experience for you, and us for if/when we need one in our feet too.

[Tracey1972 in reply to WheezyAnne]

Rather not have it there if I can get away with it x

[WheezyAnne]

We will be there in thought to hold your hand, and whisper silly jokes into your ear to distract you.

Thinking of you with lots of sympathy.

[Emilyeagleowl]

Oh you poor thing. Cannula in elbow and hand hurts bad enough I can't imagine it there or the feet x

[Tracey1972 in reply to Emilyeagleowl]

Luckily got away with it at the moment out a baby one in back of hand again now but tonight didn't want to work thought it was coming out again this is my 6th one a new one every day trying to hold out only got two days left on the hydrocortisone then free of it unless I need it for some reason but yea they do hurt x

[Emilyeagleowl in reply to Tracey1972]

Ohh ouch good luck :/. I don't know why they feel the need to wriggle out and sting like a bee sting at the most inconvenient moments x

[Tracey1972 in reply to Emilyeagleowl]

Tell me about it x

[Emilyeagleowl in reply to Tracey1972]

Stupid but highly important and necessary pieces of medical paraphernalia. x

[Tracey1972 in reply to Emilyeagleowl]

That is so true even though they hurt they do there job

[Emilyeagleowl in reply to Tracey1972]

Exactly and I guess all you can do is keep remember that all the wires and tubes and stuff is important and very helpful. Thats why I like watching 24 hours in a&e. If you every are there as a major treatment treatment patient etc you know they know what they are doing. x

[Tracey1972 in reply to Emilyeagleowl]

[Emilyeagleowl in reply to Tracey1972]

Good night and good luck I hope it doesn't fall out tonight and you get a good nights rest
