    I am sooo sorry you are struggling with these awful complications. I don't have any advice, but I'd like to pray for you. Stay strong. ((Hugs))

  • Yes TPN can be done at home, I had a PICC line and was on it 12 hours a day November 28th- February 26. That said, I was lucky to have my son's assistance, could I have done it all by myself? Doubtf

Hi, Are you still on TPN? I am now on my fifth week of TPN. Today is a Thanksgiving. I’m most thankful that I’m still alive.
I’m very tired of not being able to eat or drink anything. I wonder how long this can continue without me going crazy along with not being able to work. I would like a update on how your doing.

Thanks Cathy
