I.e., in the human field, if someone said "they have a catheter and an IV in" - to me, that would mean "they have a urinary cath in and an IV line in". Sorry if I was confused and/or confused things  .
I'm just glad to hear she is home and on the mend, this is wonderful . |
Yes, we are thrilled to have Livi home with us...very thankful after knowing how sick she was!
As for catheter/IV catheter...sorry that I wrote it incorrectly. I am sure that I was typing quickly and trying to get as many of my thoughts relayed as clearly as I could. It has been an EXHAUSTING week...actually, the past three weeks have been almost a blur with how tired I am. Again, sorry for typing this without adding the right letters in front of the word 'catheter'. It's amazing that I was able to type at all with how swollen, blurry and burning my eyes were at all.
