The surgery went well today and I'm VERY glad it's over with.
The surgery took less than 30 min. I was given a general anesthesia so was glad I was totally out for the surgery. I haven't seen the incision yet as it's wrapped but I sure am bruised around it. I had a great anesthesiologist today who found my vein on the first try! I was happy about that! I was dreading the idea that I might get stuck several times today. I got my dr. to send me a prescription for EMLA for my first infusion on Monday with the new Port. At first he didn't want to send out a prescription but after my Infusion center called him on my behalf he did call it in. Now I'm hoping that my 2008 will be MUCH better than my 2007......and I hope y'all's will be too!!!!! HUGS to y'all!!!
