Port is in. It seems that my subclavian vein is NOT where subclavian veins usually are---and I was stuck all over, rivulets of blood running down my neck and shoulders and, despite having one of those stupid fluffy blue hats on my head, blood all thru my hair! Yick! A forty min procedure turned into a two and a half hour one BUT! They finally got it in there, all sewn into place. My right clavicle, shoulder and breast are at once green, purple, blue, black, yellow and pomegrante-colored. They had a pressure bandage on it but I took it off this morning as was driving me crazy as wouldn't stay stuck on. Because of the difficulty, they had to intubate me (as opposed to twilight sleep) and they said, "It took a hell of a lot of medicine to get her to sleep,"---my receptors are all shot to hell. My own fault.
But the thing is in, the scarves are ordered, and I start taking poison Monday morning!!
Thank you, my virtual pals, for cheering me on. You are a wonderful autonomous collective!
