Cindy I'm happy your arm-port is feeling better. I was thinking about you and wondering how it would feel to get the arm-port, but I was afraid since it's my only good arm. But at least you won't have a visible scar on your chest, right?
Thanks for the advice Ruth......I think the flowering plant gift idea to raise money for uninsured patients is fantastic! I'll ask about it at my next visit.....and I'll also try to be more understanding of the nurse's difficult job (usually I'm very empathetic - but this whole process has made me more of a grouch!) I'm so happy to have found this web site where I can vent!
