She brought a huge bag full of supplies..tubing, IV bags, gloves etc..she showed me
how to set up/disinfect the thing in my arm,
how to clamp off the tube..It was very intimidating. I felt like I had to learn to be a nurse in 2 hours.
She also said that I could remove my IV on the 3rd day..it was very easy. Well, I am completely alone when I do the treatments and also removing the IV. My hubby is in Iraq..unfortunately because he is a combat life saver and knows how to do this stuff.
