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.
