your home health nurse to clear the line, if necessary, or go into your

doctor's office? How about one of these " store-front " emergency clinics? Try

to make some kind of alternate emergency arrangements so you don't worry too

much about it all the time.

That's a good idea. I have to find a way to take care of this if it happens

again. Dr. B's office (my llmd) is about 1 1/2 hours away so that's not

preferable in my condition. Maybe a clinic could do it but I'm not sure. The

home nurses said they cannot use the stuff in the home that they use to eat

through the clot... I guess in case something goes wrong they want you in a

hospital.. I wonder if a clinic would be ok. I have to check that out. Thank

you!

The nurses called today and said that they need an OK from my llmd in order

to change the line and they couldn't get a call back from him today. So,

they are going to try again wednesday to get in touch so they can put in a

new line. This means no abx today or tomorrow. It's not the end of the world

but annoying!! I see my llmd on wednesday afternoon so I'm going to have a

chat with the PA and see what's up with all this and my future options in

case this happens again.
