I got to take my port home.
I think my surgeon was surprised when I asked him before surgery today if I could have my port to take home. I have been explaining to people for a year and a 1/2 what my port was like. Now I can show them. I am so glad pathology said I could keep it. I am a little sore and still light headed but they game me lots of anti-nausea meds this morning. Its out, lets hope I don't need it back.
