Morning from home, ahh real coffee, my greek yogurt, my dogs, waking up with my sweet, wonderful husband sleeping next to me. My home care nurse came out last night to teach me the new iv abx deal. They were able to supply it as a push vs drip so not too bad. Well I just did my first of many and I did mostly ok. My only little problem was, somehow,, after the whole mixing the drug (powder) with the sterile water in the syringe, I was not able to draw up the very last bit of the mixture into the syringe from the bottle. I would say maybe 1/4 tsp, just could not get, to maneuver the needle in the bottle to get that last bit. I hope that's not a problem. I did ok with the saline pre and post flush, as well as the heparin finish. I feel like I'm playing doctor on myself, and not in a fun way, but I think I can get thru it. Evelyn (home nurse) comes back at 11 for vac dressing change, I'll tell her of my abx experience then.
As for 2nd opinion, I don't know, but curious who the Orlando surgeon is, and if he is even on my insurance network. But please do share who he is, never hurts to have info, thanks
