      My wife's step mom was on IV antibiotics through a PICC and when she was done, she gave us her leftovers. They have been a godsend as we have been trying to find a new home infusion company for her port. I totally agree, no one should ever through anything out.
      Regarding the ton of trash, a lot of it is recyclable if fluids never touch it. Mostly bags that you can drop off a a grocery store or Target. There's a decent amount of paper

    Don't throw the surgilast away. If you are able, contact you local animal shelter. They may be able to use it and welcome the donation.
    You could also check with low cost clinics or something like doctors without borders.
    Organizations that need it badly enough might even send a volunteer to pick it up.

Because the chronically ill and other people requiring procedures actually *need* these plastics and the oil required for plastic production is not an infinite resource. Thanks for making this video. It was very interesting.

    I love how positive you are despite everything you've gone through. I couldn't imagine having any ongoing illness and you have multiple. God knows how strong you are and is doing this for a reason. What that reason is, you may never know but He knows, and that's what matters.

You are so clean and organised, I have a small room which has been completely taken over by supplies for my feeding tube, dressings, my colostomy and my catheter. I do try to keep everything organised but after about a week or two everything gets messed up again. I have got some great new ideas for storage from watching your video. Thanks for a great video. Hugs and kisses Jessica.
