Oh, you got off easy! My final pre-transplant tests made me give up FOURTEEN vials!

So we walked around the facility, found the patient library, found the gym, could not find the wine bar, and eventually gave up and had dinner.

haha! With the state of hospital food, could you imagine how terrible their wine would be??
Good luck tomorrow! The PICC line insertion isn't bad at all - just try to relax and you'll be fine. Mine gave me a bit of deep numbness in my arm for a few days, but after that, I didn't even know it was there. And when the nurse came to eventually take it out, it just pulled straight out and didn't need more than an average bandaid/plaster. I've seen more blood shaving my legs!
