Glad You Are Here
Instead of illustrating what it is like to have a PORT or PICC line, I thought you can experience it yourself. I designed a few simple challenges, hopefully to give you an idea of what it is like to live with a PORT or PICC line. What is a PORT or a PICC line click on this link?
Glass of Water
Find an empty glass, fill to the rim with water.
Challenge - hold up the filled water glass with one hand, without putting it down or spilling the water, pull on a long sleeve shirt/ T-shirt.
Toothpaste
Find your toothpaste, squeeze out about the size of a quarter onto your upper right or left chest.
Challenge - try put clothes on without smearing or touching the toothpaste.
Balancing Act
Find a shawl or blanket, throw it over your shoulders. Remember that tall glass of water from earlier challenge?
Challenge - take that tall glass of water, hold it with one hand and walk with the shawl or blanket over your shoulders.
