Back together again

I guess I should update this. I did get my new IV line put in. So I am feeling put together again.

I guess the big story is my quest to have a different brand line put in. My last 4 lines have been placed at the U. They use the Power Line brand. This line has never worked out for me. I have had big problems with every one of them. The day I called to schedule the line replacement, I made it clear that I did not want the Power Line put in. And everytime I talked to anyone over there, I reminded them that I did not want the power line. Then when I was in pre-op, every person who walked in my room heard that I did not want a power line. When I arrived in the OR, I was told that the dr was trying to track down a line for me. He came back with 2 options. One was the power line and the other was the type that I wanted, however, it was a single lumen. For those of you who might need an explaination that means that it only had one port to hook into. All the other times I have had 2 ports; one for TPN and the other for everything else. The dr asked me which one I wanted him to use. I didn't want the single lumen but even more, I did not want the power line. I'm hoping for good success with this line.
