Power Port

Well this will be short and sweet. We went in yesterday and they did the surgery to place the power port catheter for the chemo treatments. The surgery went well and we came home and I felt OK so I went to bowling with the guys. All I was doing was just sitting in a chair drinking ginger ale but about half way thru the matches, I started feeling lots of pain in my left chest where they had placed the port. By the time they were done and I told Cliff I needed to go home he was ready to kill me. He said I thought you should have stayed home, and why didn't you tell me you were feeling bad. Long story short, by the time we got home I was shaking like I was going into shock. He got me undressed and in a warm robe and gave me some pain pills and as soon as they kicked in I was out. I woke up this morning and have been miserable all day even with the pain pills. I can't believe they did not tell me it could be like this. I finally went on line to see if other people have this much pain and it looks like it is not unusual. This is more miserable than the surgery. Hope it doesn't last too long cause I am a tuff chick but this is no game.

We are suppose to go to Vegas and help Teddi move tomorrow and I want to go help so bad.. She has driven and sat in doctors so much with me that I want to repay her so bad. I hope tomorrow is better or I know Cliff will not let me go.

Oh I had to catch up on your Blog! The decorations are funny and cool. I didn't know about the "port" thing. I hope you are feeliing better - if you don't I know you'll call the doc! I'm also so grateful you have that hospital too - it's all so crazy. Take care and don't do too much.
