AML: PICC Line & Glad Press'n Seal

I thought I'd offer this one up incase someone else is going through something similar.

I am in the middle of my chemo for my AML. As a result, I have a PICC line in my arm so we can do daily blood work, meds and transfusions if needed.

We have to keep the PICC dressing dry when I shower. In the hospital we wrap it with a plastic bag and wrap it in tape. I didn't have anything similar at home. Andrea came up with the idea of using Press 'n Seal.

I love that stuff for everything you can use it for in the kitchen. Turns out it is perfect water proof wrap for my PICC line. It sticks to itself so well that I can wrap it tightly around my arm, but it does not stick to my skin. Works great. It even has some give to it so I can bend my arm a bit (the wrap goes around my elbow to compeltely cover the dressing and lines)
