PICC line removed

The antibiotics are done. And the PICC line has been removed. Zora was feeling apprehensive.



But it was all very quick and painless.



A snip here…



...and a tug there…



...and Bob's your uncle. The PICC line is out.



There it is.



That red mark is where the suture was. It was slowly working its way out in its own.



It’s a long line.



It has to be measured to make sure that everything that went in comes out.



12 inches, baby!



To paraphrase Frank Oz in the Blues Brothers, “One PICC line, soiled.”
