I have a new saying.


ROXIE HAS MOXIE.

If you don't know what that means, just look it up.

It means you are a brave person.

And thanks for the info on the port. I had absolutely no clue what it looked like.

Wishing you the best,

Love ya,

Melody

Good Morning All!
Well today the new port incision doesn't hurt as bad as it did the past cpl of days, it just feels like a sore cut. I've read too that it's good to use the port soon after getting it put in so I hope Monday is soon enough. I'll let y'all know.

Daniella, my friend, I know you have gone through SO much with dr.s and clinics. It's sure not been easy for you! I hope you find a good dr. soon who will listen to you and help you with your pain. Good luck to you!

HUGS and I am so glad it is feeling better today. I hope it continues too.

Hey All........I'm a little queezy about having the new port accessed tomorrow......even tho I know I have the EMLA cream and all.....it's just kinda scary. The incision is still very tender, guess that doesn't help with my fear. I'm not exactly sure where they will access the port.....the top or bottom. I'm putting cream all over it so I make sure everything gets numb!

I am sure it is natural to feel nervous. It is unknown but maybe you can ask them to explain it to you before they start. Be open with your fears and concerns. Hopefully this unknown will bring better times ahead and make things easier for you. When do you have the ivig tomorrow?If you are up to it let us know if not you are in our thoughts.Hang in there

Roxie? I feel that way every
 

TIME that needle comes near me? I've still got some 'good' veins left...so I'm told. {HUMPF!}
What I do, is just close my eyes, and IMAGINE REALLY HARD That...I'm on that perfect beach, soaking up all the Vitamin D I can imagine, not sweating at all because the lite breeze is deliteful...and then Scrunch the eyes when..the needle goes in. But for you, probably the 'movements' of accessing the port site will be a bit similar at first and not to mention a trifle tender. You have to get that 'line' going tho, and up and running.
It's a bit scary, but I bet you are made of tougher stuff than most of us! - j

Thanks ladies.......I need a peptalk tonight, I guess. I'll be glad after they have the line in tomorrow and it's running ok. I know the first time is always scary.....I'll work on that beach scene with the light breeze! LOL Thanks again!

Don't forget those famous balloons!!
 

You can tie them to the beach umbrella. I need a little sun and if they come untied, so be it, I'd like to float somewhere where nothing touches me but the wind, sun and peace.:p

O.K. NOW!!! Pull those shoulders back, lift up that chin and paste a big smile on your face. You CAN do it. It's natural to be a little worried. But soon it will be old hat and you will be telling someone else about how to do it.;)

Hope everything goes well tomorrow.:hug:(lightly)

Billye

You got it soo right!
 

Billye! Only thing missing is that BIG slushy drink w/an umbrella in it...plus the straw.

Close your eyes..and keep saying? 'There's no place like home!' Only you ARE home?

Sometimes, if you THINK it to be good, it will be good, even tho it's gonna be good anyhow....All that mind over matter stuff, does at times, work. This is one key one. More hugs - j

Roxie
