Yesterday afternoon I had a same-day surgery procedure to have my port inserted. It is technically called a Groshong Catheter. If you want to read more you can checck out this web site as well: "Your port advantage."
The procedure was about 40 minutes loing and I was pretty heavily sedated (kind of nice) but awake. Very easy recovery. Thanks to Sally S we had pizza for dinner! Thank goodness because I was STARVING!!
Today it feels like I have a heavy weight pulling down on my shoulder/arm on the side the port was put it. The Vicodin help! LOL
In about 1 hour and 45 minutes I'll be at the clinic getting ready for my first chemo. Taxotere and Cytoxin. Cassie brought be all the episodes of season 1 through 5 of "House" to watch during the 3 hour time it takes for the meds to drip in. I have tomorrow off so I can gage how I'm going to repond for future treatments.
Talk yo you all later!!
