    Yesterday I was very stressed and tired from caring for my Mother who is currently in a lot of pain. So I made the mistake of drinking some coffee. 🙈 Today I ended up being in so much pain that I told my dad that I just needed relief and I couldn’t do it anymore. He rushed my into an urgent care and they basically said just to wait it out and drink a lot of fluids. Watching your videos makes me feel so much better! Although my problems can’t even start to be comparable to yours, your videos really helps me when I’m in pain. I’ll be praying for you! 💕

    Hello Hannah. You might not see this but my friend had just been diagnosed with cancer and I know it’s not the same but I just want to tell you the same thing I told her because she inspires me everyday to live life to end. I told her, You only have one life to live, live it all, love it all, and remember to never take life for granted. When I go to visit her we always watch you and now I finally subed and just wanted to show you some love from, Lily and Emily. ❤️

    I have a central line via a chest port, PICC lines caused too many DVT’s:/ When I had PICC lines, I could wrap my arm so well that I could actually take showers. Now, have had 3 various ports, 2 tore through my skin because I am so thin from GP. I’ve never been able to go unaccessed to take showers, only get deaccessed if I have an MRI and no metal allowed. However, have to get reaccessed immediately following:/ My Homehealth won’t allow me to change my dressing, I’ve asked multiple times😥. So, in about 5 yrs, have only been able to take a quick shower about 4 times. Only because I got deaccessed for medical reasons and had to wait for my Homehealth nurse to arrive to access me again. I love this idea; although, I’m allergic to Tagaderm and can only use IV3000. After watching your video, I SO wished I could too, but my Homehealth would discharge me ASAP because of the alleged liability🙄?? So, I can’t shower and can only do baths or sponge baths:( Not sure if you’re aware, but IV3000 makes a “rimless” large patch, so no orange sides. It helps “a little” in hiding the dressing. Looking at the back of a new patch, it looks like sku #66024008, lot 1847. If your interested, I can send a pic of it. I used to use the same IV3000 patch with the orange sides, until they came out with borderless. It makes a “slight” difference in the hard life of a chronic illness patient

    ub ellie I’ve been using the borderless IV3000 for 6 yrs bc I’m allergic to to border. Allergic to tegaderm too. I take showers with my dressing. I hold a folded hand towel and use a handheld shower head and hold the towel over my site.

    Marieke D I also have a hand held shower head that I use, but it doesn’t feel like a full blown shower to me because I am so limited. I’m in a wheelchair, so have to sit on a shower seat and I also have another line to manage plus an external Ostomy pouch too in addition to my central line, so it’s really hard. I miss just hopping in the shower freely and thoroughly soaking myself, I never feel completely clean anymore:/
