Port Out -- I am Done!!!!!!!

Friday was a good day. My appointment with the surgeon was at 8AM by 9:15AM we were driving up to the house, and I was port-less. The surgery was not pleasant, as I was awake the whole time and the initial shot of anesthetic stung and burned. That part was quick, and I really could not feel a thing when my skin was cut and the device was removed. Dr. Corsetti's resident performed the surgery, but Dr. Corsetti was watching every step of the way. I did not worry. Though when the resident pulled off his mask, he looked so young. That was a bit disconcerting.

I got to take the port home. I have pictures to share. I have not had time to work on the pictures to get them publishable. I will do that within a few days.

My Name in the Paper

Click here to read about the volleyball tournament on Saturday. Okay, they spelled my name wrong, but at least I was in the paper.

Port Removal Day Fast Approaching

I am anxious about Friday. On the one hand I am thrilled that my port-a-cath will be removed, but on the other hand I am not looking forward to any pain. I heard that the doctor will use a local anesthetic and that it should only minutes to take out. Okay, just make it quick.


Above you see a picture of the logo on the shirt for Saturday's game. The Taylor Tigers are hosting a volleyball tournament to benefit breast cancer. I mentioned it in an earlier post. I am not a big fan of pink, but I will be wearing it on Saturday at the game. After game two I will be called down courtside and given a plaque.
