Third time today, tid, three weeks down and three to go.
I am becoming a PICCmeister!
Why? Brain surgery, back in May, then an infection.
No brain was found.

(149,771 posts)Oh, you do too have a brain! A very good one, I might add.
And you are certainly becoming a PICCmeister!
Good for you.........you have your health in your hands. I know you're being careful...
You. Matter!

(68,644 posts)I was wondering earlier today if you still mix with the poetry crowd.
Whenever you post your photographic work I wonder if you ever think of setting one of them to words...
Or maybe pictures speak for themselves?
A challenge I might give to students: "Describe in poetry or prose, a short composition to be read to a blind person your age, capturing the essence of a photograph of you've taken or found."

(149,771 posts)Yeah, I still mix with the poetry crowd. Just tonight a friend asked my advice on making a chapbook; I was happy to oblige her. I took the time to read through the poems I included in mine, and was struck by the creativity I found there.
I haven't tried to set one of my photos to words. I did try that with someone else's photo. It turned out pretty well, according to the folks I showed them to.
I do think anytime you couple two such disparate images, you have the potential for something beautiful and greater than the two works separately.
That's a great challenge!
Be well!

Early human A: "Hmmm, none of my grunts are getting through, maybe I'll try drawing a picture"...
Early human B: "They don't see what I'm drawing, maybe I should try grunting"...
Heck, we still see that today!
Off to bed, love to you and yours!

(55,027 posts)looks like I am going to be doing the same for a couple weeks.
plus some kind of wound care.
do you have an extension so you can hook up yourself or does somebody have to help you?
NYC_SKP
(68,644 posts)Can't remember which one, or I imagined it.
The first two weeks my gf was doing it, I stayed at her house and the second week she stayed at mine, but we are kind of independent and I had them add the extensions.
The home health provider said not to use the line locks but after seeing blood creeping back into one of the two lines, and doing a little research, I started using them.
I hope you find it all as easy to do as I did, so far!
Wrapping up the mess of tubing, etc., after each treatment is a nuisance, and it itches a little-- that's the worst of it.
Heal up, you!
