Today I had surgery to have a port put into my chest.

[dixiegrrrrl]

21. I am really bummed out.

I thought the port would be one of those tube things that had maybe a plastic tip opening that they could stick the needle in ....in fact, the CAT scan guy said tht is why I have to go to oncology to morrow first, so they can put something in/on the port so HE can inject the iodine thru it..
Something about a needle "thing" that they use to put stuff into the body
and then he said I had to go back to oncology to have it removed.
Now, I know they can't do anything that would let air into the port, but in my perhaps pain medicine fueled mind, I seem to have gotten the idea the port meant
no more needle sticks.
Oh, I know where I got the idea.....somone there TOLD me that.

As for the plastic dressing, it was burning up my skin for the past 3 days, the removal part was easy and did not cause the problem.

I am gonna take my prescribed pain med, whatever it is, and ask them for that cream plus pick some up at the druggist on the way home.
thanks for telling me about that.

Right now, at the moment, I am not in a good mood, so will put on a movie or something.
I can't even run away from home, there is a thunderstorm outside.
