The port didn't go quite as well as I hoped. The surgeon wanted to put the port on the left side to spare my right side, but couldn't get it in. She had warned me about the blind stick and the trouble she could run into with muscle wrapped around it, and it's location behind the clavicle bone. I woke with pain running up and down my left arm all the way up to my neck (a second stick), but the port was on the right side. Ice packs on both sides. Oddly enough the right side doesn't hurt much at all compared to the left. A 15 minute surgery was 90 minutes.
Here we go again with the pain meds. As I'm just waking up from my fog at 4:00pm. The surgery was at 8:30am.
I hope to be at work tomorrow. Larry may have to bring me, but I'm so determined to starting treatment on Thursday. I can't get done unless I get started.
More to come as the journey continues.
