So I got my IV port implanted today. I was under general anesthesia, so it was technically "surgery", but the procedure was pretty quick, and I was home by 1-ish, which was good. They gave me some hardcore pain meds (hydrocodone), but I'm in minimal pain, so now I'm looking forward to a couple of pain-free days (what's that like?) and a nice weekend before I start chemo on Monday.
Also, notice the new "needle count" on the right side of the page. It took them 4 tries to get my IV in for surgery today (hand IV's hurt like a bitch), and I'm curious to see how many it adds up to at the end of this thing.

Drew,
ReplyDeleteYou are a trooper. I'm so proud of you and your positive attitude. I got an update last night from your Dad but I guess the best place for the real information is your Blog. Keep positive and know that everyone on the East Coast is thinking of you.
Love,
