Default Power Port Update.

Good afternoon/morning everyone, I just got back from the hospital where they placed an internal "Power Port" into my right chest wall. No more needle pricks {normally have a min of 4 when having anything done} Heck the poor nurse tried to start my IV and I told here not to go into my hand and sure enough it blew, I mean golf ball size..LOL, after a few tries she got one in my arm. Erin, you should have NO fear when you get yours {if this is what you will get} I was put to sleep for the procedure and it took about half an hour. Thank fully they shot the area with a numbing agent so it won't hurt for about 3 hours after surgery... med is wearing off so off to bed for me no remember Erin, it was not bad. I would have done this months ago if I knew it was so simple.

Hope all is having a strong and happy day
