Had to have my PICC line replaced today. Went in at 10am. Wasn't seen til nearly 12.30. They put local anaesthetic in arm then put a wire up old line to try and remove fibroid covering end of line but it was really uncomfortable and to avoid serious vein trouble old line was removed and new one put in. Felt really sick afterwards. Fainted. Bit at least line bleeds now and my blood count was fine. Arm feels extremely bruised and achey.

Emotionally up and down. Nausea up and down. Bit more up than down really. Extremely tired now.

Will get better. Life will return to normal and I'll be all the stronger for this. Must remain positive.
