Sorry to hear of all this. Certainly sounds like an ordeal. Hope it clears or at least can be identified. Wave November goodbye and look for a better December.

Had to look up the PICC Line:
https://www.lhsc.on.ca/thoracic-surgery/picc-line-...
Looks like just a regular port. Hope it doesn't deter your adventures in December. At our age, I guess most of us have had ports for infusions at various times. Good luck.

Thanks for the above.
For Walk, a year in 12 lines. Maybe you agree. BP: I'll try, keeping to only a low growl with referrals and long wait times til certain appointments. Or be a squeaky wheel for quicker results.
Re the PICC line, the message is no lifting >15#. It requires tending on my part to keep it safe - mainly from being pulled out which would be a real, but preventable, PIA. VNA does a dressing change once a week. IV abx til end of January.
Phil, 'quick' keeps getting stretched out longer and longer.
I expect to be at the UNO meeting, Ernst. But even walking on anything but a secure surface is not reasonable. Since the CH admission, I've developed a degree of what I'd call gait insecurity/instability. A neurologist would likely label it mild ataxia. It may not show but I certainly experience it.
