This post will resonate with some and not others.

Every day, I learn something new. For those of us with thin, deep, and scared veins, did you know there’s such a thing as an ultrasound IV? I did not. Since refusing IV the last two times in the ER, the nurse asked me why and wondered if I was there for pain meds. Nope, I was there because of another kidney stone, which apparently I passed on my own before I got to the hospital. After a week of terrible pain, I was glad to hear that. Yet, before the CT, I had the most amazing experience under the circumstances, my first ultrasound IV, which went in smoothly and did not damage the vein and add more scar tissue. He found the best vein- the nurse did confirm that I had lots of scar tissue and the veins were small- and the whole process was done in seconds. So, if you have similar troubles with your veins, ask for an ultrasound IV next time you have one.

Until next time, I wish you a blessed day and great health! Without your body, you can’t achieve anything on your wish, want, and must-do list. So take care of your body:)

God Bless:)
