John's first stint in the hospital and all his subsequent doctor visits have turned him into a human pin cushion. The top of his hands always have a little hit of purple to them thanks to all the lab work that's been drawn. So, now John has his very own portacath which was surgically implanted on June 8th. Having this will allow him to no longer have his hands tied up and it will give the nurses the advantage of being able to get meds to him and into his blood stream faster.
