Start of IV's!

This is my Portacath!
It is accessed with a gripper needle
which is in my left side tucked under my arm.
Today i started my IV's!
As i have to have my IV's for 2 weeks, it will mean that i will have to have my treatment over Christmas and new year.

I'm a little annoyed but then in the new year i will be healthy, and ready for my cheerleading competiton in January!

I have to have my IV's three times a day, and i have an antibiotic called caftazidime pumped through it, as well as just normal saline flush's and heparin, to make sure the portacath doesn't get blocked.
