Testing complete for the port removal on Thusday. It'll be done in the interventional radiology suite through the surgical unit. I won't know the time until they call on Wed. I can't eat or drink after midnight so hopefully it'll be early in the day. The paperwork they'd given me is to prepare for an angiogram. I'll need someone to drive me home (James or Mom), bed rest for 6 hrs then limit activity including driving for 24 hrs. Hmmm.... I was planning on working Friday (and some of Thursday if I could) then taking next week off during the kids vaca to clean the house. Plans may change.
The radiation oncology appointment yesterday afternoon went fairly smoothly. Man, I will NEVER get a tattoo. The did 6 itty bitty spots on me as markers and it was quite painful. I'm all set up and ready to go. First appointment on Friday April 25th they'll test the set up with x-ray instead of radiation. Then we go for real on Monday the 28th every weekday morning for 6 1/2 weeks. None of these scheduled yet but I did stress to them that I have to schedule in the AM. Yesterdays 2 PM appointment took 2 laps around the huge parking garage to find a free space and that was after following someone walking to their car. That happening every day would add a bit of stress to my life.
Today I go to meet the new surgeon and hopefully have him tell me this thing under my arm is all related to surgical healing and nothing to worry about. Work first and getting the kids out the door on time for school so they don't have any more detentions. Bye for now!
