I have a port-a-cath!


I had to be at the hospital at 5:45 on the day of surgery.  Damn, that's early!  Surgery went well. We were home by 10am.  I was more sore in my shoulder than anything.  I think they had to position my right arm in a weird way during the surgery.

I'm glad to have this port so the nurses and lab techs don't have to keep poking my veins.  It should make chemo go a lot easier.
