So when I've been out and about the last couple of days, I've been wearing short sleeves and I've had a stretchy net over my arm to keep my IV contained and just to make it a little less obtrusive while I'm out in public. You know, more so than having it dangle around like I do at home.
I've had a couple of people ask me "did you do something to your arm?" implying an injury of some sort. I'm soliciting clever responses to this question...
I don't care if people know the truth, but it's hard to explain in just a sentence or two. People generally don't know what a picc line is. Today I tried explaining it was related to IV medication. But anyway, what are some clever ways I could respond (that would either enlighten someone or do nothing of the sort)?
"Yes, I did, thank you for noticing!"
ReplyDelete"No, the government did."
"It's a way for me to drink soda without damamging my teeth."
"It's a line so my husband can talk directly to my heart."
"Land bridges."
Matt you're great!! Kim I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you use these. Especially the one about the line to your heart. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely your arena Matt! I will humbly decline to comment... well, except this one.

How about
ReplyDelete"I contracted Lyme disease from a tick, didn't get diagnosed correctly for a year and a half, and this is how they needed to treat it. Watch for ticks!"
Josh, you have a way of making the mundane sound hilarious.
ReplyDeleteHow about,
