Got the IV Port put in place right after lunch today, though I hadn't had anything to eat or drink since before 12 p.m. last night. Dr. Brillant performed the procedure.
The X-Ray they took to make sure it was placed properly, showed a crimp in the line. Dr. Brillant came in to check it and decided to go back in and flush the line and take another X-Ray to make sure it was working.
The port he installed is behind the bandages, you can see them on my left side. The line across my chest is the IV line. The final X-Ray showed all okay and they sent me home. Probably took an extra 30 minutes to take another X-Ray, make sure it was okay and not going to cause any problems.
Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and prayers sent via email, blog postings, and by phone. I hope you know how much it means to me.
Oh yeah, and don't be too frightened by the photos, had to wash twice with special soap and absolutely NO makeup allowed!
