@shaylatalei: Replying to @Ghalyaal How do I take my meds? Like this. 💉 Because my stomach is paralyzed (a condition called gastroparesis, which developed as a complication of CRPS), I can’t take or absorb oral medication. Instead, I give all of my medications through a central line port that goes directly to my heart. In this video, I’m administering IV antibiotics at home as part of my recovery from sepsis — something that would otherwise require a hospital stay. I’ve received a lot of questions about gloves. So here’s the truth: I’m not provided sterile gloves. The protocol I follow was outlined by my home health team, and it’s aseptic—not sterile—technique. That means I wash and sanitize my hands thoroughly and often, and maintain a clean work area. I’ve used this method for all of my medications and have never had an issue. ✨ This is NOT medical advice. I’m simply showing what I do, as instructed by my doctors and nurses. Always follow your own care team’s guidance. I know this might be unfamiliar for some, but this is what chronic illness care looks like behind the scenes — the things people don’t always show. 🤍 This is a draft from last week! #sepsis #antibiotic #medication #centralline #fypツ
