Default Just had surgery - port-a-cath now in place

Hi all

Two weeks ago I had surgery to implant a port-a-cath so I can continue with Tysabri. My veins, after four years on Ty, were giving up, and pretty wasted and it was taking at least three-to-five attempts to insert a cannula for the Ty. I won't say it was the most pleasant thing in the world (I had a post-surgical bleed and lots of bruising) - but compared to brain surgery (which I have had) it was pretty easy. It does feel kinda hinky having this huge lump (HUGE is how it feels, more than how it looks) in my chest.

I will be testing it on the 26th to see how it works - cross your fingers for me, but I am sure it will be much better.
