Spend some time with me. I haven’t been around much, because I haven’t been feeling well enough to create content. 😔❤️‍🩹 what low energy activity should we do together next? This wasn’t super fun, but I had to get it done. 😭

... Read moreLiving with a condition that requires regular central line care and IV fluid management is challenging—especially on days when your energy is low, and a flare-up hits. Organizing and putting away medical supplies might seem like a simple task, but when you're feeling exhausted and dizzy, it can quickly become overwhelming. From my experience, what helps is breaking down the task into smaller, manageable steps and giving yourself permission to take breaks when needed. For example, unpacking boxes one at a time, sorting bandages and dressing kits into categories, and finding dedicated storage spaces close to where you perform your fluid infusions can make the process easier. I've also found it valuable to keep track of my supplies such as central line caps, chlorhexidine bandages, alcohol swabs, iodine swabs, and antimicrobial patches. Understanding which products my skin tolerates better helps me avoid irritation and rash during dressing changes. For instance, I noticed chlorhexidine bandages can sometimes be itchy but are less likely to cause a rash compared to iodine swabs, which irritated my skin badly. Another tip is to save extra supplies sent previously—like Aquaguard covers that allow showering without risk of contamination—or donate unused items to infusion centers or nurses who can pass them on to others in need. This not only reduces clutter but feels good to support the community. When feeling dizzy or faint, it's essential to listen to your body. Sitting down during the process, staying hydrated, and tackling the task with a friend or support person virtually can provide motivation and safety. In summary, managing central line supplies during a low-energy day requires patience, organization, and self-kindness. Sharing this personal journey aims to normalize these challenges and offer practical tips for others facing similar situations. Remember, small progress is still progress, and taking care of yourself comes first.

Spend More Time With God
