• Post Port Post

  I'll have to make this very short and with no pictures.  I'm supposed to be resting in bed.

  I'm home.  Port is in place.  She tried a higher spot first and couldn't get the tube in the jugular vein - I'm sore there.  There is a puncture under my clavicle bone and pain up my neck and a bruised area on the side of my neck.  That is the only pain I have.  The puncture wound, where she tried to enter under the clavicle, feels like a broken cuticle or paper cut when you squeeze lemon juice on it.  It is a continuous burn and on of scale of 1-10 it's a zero - just a sting.  I was also given Percoset.  I've only taken one.

  Chaplain prayed with us before surgery and everyone was super.  This is the neatest hospital!  Mercy Hospital.  That name means what it says.

  Now I've been told the surgeon plans to do surgery after 4 rounds of chemo - approximately 8 weeks, but all is left up to how my MRIs look.  So, basically, I still don't know anything for sure.
   
  Back to bed, I go.  I knew people would want to know I was okay.

  Be Blessed  ~
