Port is Out

I got my port out this morning.  I was supposed to have it removed Monday but had to reschedule because of the snow.  I was so anxious because I've just had so much done.  This was the last thing I was having removed and I was so excited to be done but scared something would go wrong.  The doctors were all really understanding and I did really well.  I told the doctors I was cold and they gave me a bunch of warm blankets to wrap up in.

I'm still trying to figure out what to eat.  I have low energy a lot and my system is still learning to tolerate more complex foods.  After my procedure today I was given a sandwich with MAYONNAISE!  At first I thought the doctor was joking with me in offering it.  He was serious and it was delicious.

My procedure this morning did require anesthesia so I am just resting at home today.  I am not feeling very well and the wound on my chest where they removed the port is very sore.  I look forward to feeling better in the coming days.

I love walking to our new home that is in the process of being built.  I loved walking on Monday when it was snowing/  It was very cold but it was a fun walk.

I am touched by all the offers to bring meals and the sweet thoughts in your letters and comments on this blog.  Thank you for your thoughtfulness in sending gifts.
