Port, support and love

I got my port yesterday. I didn't sleep well the night before. Not because I was nervous about the port, but because I knew I had to get up early. I don't sleep well when I need to get up on the first day of school and  when I need to get up early for a flight. 

We got to the hospital and have I said how much I love the valet parking? It is amazing. No looking for a parking spot! or remembering where you parked. 

They brought us to a room. They started an IV and gave me fluids. I need to design a stylish hospital gown. Bright and colorful, 

They wheeled me to the place they were going to do the placement. Everyone was really nice and kind. They wished me well on my treatment. They were great. I didn't have my contacts in and my glasses where back in the room. So sorry everyone was a blurry face. 

I slept through the whole thing. Which was how I wanted it to be. Oh, they showed me the port (its purple, I have boots that match my port. I'm still looking for purple shoes Size 6 1/2) 

I was all taped up. I got back to my room and slept. and slept. Until they had to get me to sit up. I was fine, not dizzy or lightheaded. Then the very nice nurse offered my water, cranberry juice and crackers. I was really hungry! This fasting before appointments is not fun. 

They put me in a wheel chair and were going to wheel me out of the hospital. I reminded them I had one more appointment that day. So I had to wait in a different waiting room. It seemed like a very long time. 

I had my muga scan of my heart.  Confession time.  When they told me about this scan, it was around the time when all the excitement of the Momo challenge was going on and I couldn't remember what the heart scan was called because I only could remember Momo. Ooops. 

I really admire all the nurses who work hard. They are great! They politely laugh at my jokes and are so sweet. They have all wished me well with my journey. I couldn't have asked for better people around me. 

 

Jovi was confused about why I couldn't play tug with her last night. Poor thing was so sad to have been left behind all day. She was so happy to have us back. 

I did a lot of praying during the Muga scan. God has this. 

I am blessed to have friends who have been sending me Bible passages of encouragement and words of support. I am blessed to have so many people cheering me on.
