Sheila,
Congratulatins on getting a port. I don't know how you did it all this time without one. My veins are soooo bad! I had chemo prior to surgery and when I had my surgery they used my port for the anesthesia. Sorry you couldn't get the power port though. And you're right about it being better to have the port on the right side. My first one was on the left and the seat belt always rubbed it. Now I have mine on the right side.
