Well hello mediport

Today I got a port http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical)

The anesthesiologist and my surgeon told me I would be loopy but not asleep, well I totally fell asleep. They wheeled me into the operating room, moved me on to the operating table, started to prep me for the operation, and next thing I know they are done and wheeling me into recovery. I am spending the night at my mom's since they want someone to be with me for the 24 hours after the surgery.


Now I have some beautiful bruising and superglued skin to show for it.  My shoulder hurts a bit but it's also reminding me not to lift my arm so I actually don't want to fully get rid of the pain right now. 

Things are feeling real now with getting the mediport and having my chemo orientation... excuse me while I have a moment.
