Larry,

I too can relate, and know how hard it is to NOT do what most of us do as ordinary daily stuff. We were not meant to sit around and collect dust, we are working people and that defines who we are. We lose our sense of "self worth" when we can not do our usual things.

I have had the peripheral line from the inside of the left elbow to the Vena Cava (heart) twice. I know the possibility of infection, and you must take all possible care to minimize that possibility. The infection can take you down in less than 24 hours. A few years ago, the docs figured that I was less than 30 minutes from the Pearly Gates, due to a similar infection. Most of us have too little respect for the nasty possibilities, as we have been boogering up our body parts and getting and recovering from small infections as part of daily life. The possible infection through the blood stream (septic infection) can be massive, quick, and deadly.

Follow your doctor's orders, and take someone with you to the doc appts to hear and help you understand what she is saying. I know how meds and pain can cloud the brain so that I did not hear nor understand even 50% of what was said. My oldest daughter and wife went with me to appts to help me understand what I needed to do. My most recent medical crisis was in the summer of 2014, and I went through lots of "self worth" (or self worthLESS) thoughts, but hung in by the thoughts that if nothing else, I could at least be of some worth to the grandkids in their education and personal development. Fortunately I have gained strength, and have come back to the level of physical ability to bale 875 bales in one tiring day. But it is a good "tiring" as I can see the product of my own work. And the cold beer at the end of that recent day sure was appreciated. So the "final auction" has to wait for a few more years or hopefully at least a decade.

And like you, I do it with Ford tractors. They waited for me to regain strength, and were rewarded with returning to their favorite jobs. Thankfully, it has all worked out... and your medical situation will also. Have faith, and pray for patience. You will be better!!

With kindest regards,

Paul in MN
