Getting my port today
I'm scheduled to get a port installed today at 1pm......normally I'm not afraid of hospitals or procedures, but after getting a staph infection after my mastectomy and Diep, I'm a bit anxious. Also it doesn't help that I can't eat or drink anything until then......and I'm soooo thirsty already! The good news is I finally got a cleaning lady - so at least when I get home, the house will be clean! Trying to keep a positive outlook is easier when your bathrooms sparkle, right?
