It all began with blood collection in the RPA haematology clinic at 08:30. Up to ward 7 West 1 and a piripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) was put in. This procedure put a catheter into a vein in Denise's left arm and the line runs from there to just above her heart. It was done under local anaesthic with the insertion monitored using ultrasound - no pain and very little discomfort. A gated heart scan was performed after that. The scan was performed in the RPA's nuclear medicine facility. See this link for details on what this scan is used for: gated blood pool scan
Admission to the ward followed and I legged it for home. Tomorrow is a rest day for Denise and I will post another update then.
