PICC line and TPN

Anyone have this?  Would love to talk.

Hiya...I have a PICC line and am on TPN at home.  I started it in October and will continue to be on it through February.  I have had ongoing issues with ulcers since 6 weeks post op.  I am now 15 months post op.  My only other option at this point is reversal and that is something that I'm not willing to do.  So, we put in the PICC and started the TPN in an effort to super boost my protein levels.
Feel free to PM me or ask any questions...I am also a nurse so, hopefully I can be of some assistance.

Hi, I was going to have a PICC w/TPN, but I was too dehydrated at the time, so they did a central line instead and I did TPN at home for 12 days to try and boost my calories/hydration/protein/lipids...my one piece of advice, drink like crazy before so your veins are happy that day :)  Good luck, you'll be fine!

Well after another hospital stay I am once again off TPN, read my blog for some updates or visit MA forum.
