I finished my IV antibiotics the other day and realized I hadn't posted any information about it.
My port was accessed at infusion and the needle was left in for the week then they changed the needle for the second week.
Everyday, I flushed the port with saline then attached the IV grenade. It had to run for 27 minutes. When it was done, I had to flush my port with saline again and then flush it with heparin before attaching an orange antibacterial cap.
Here's a picture of the IV grenade
