What a day! We got on the road at 7:40am to get to the hospital by 8am. Today i am having what i call "warranty work" on my port. The catheter was too long for my overly sensitive heart and causing my heart to flutter, make me dizzy and almost pass out. Not good, so a quick fix appointment. I received some IV antibiotics in case of infection, then down to the surgical room. The PA gave me 2 shots of lidocaine and he was off and cutting. He re-opened the port cut and removed the catheter from the port. Then he shortened the catheter by about 1/2 inch. I could breath better. What a difference it made. He stitched me back up and glued it shut. And we were done. The whole thing took about 40 minutes. Not bad but i was late for radiation. I had to recover for 20 minutes so i got out of there by 11am.
Chris and the girls waited out in the waiting room because i was on the Angio/ICU floor and it has a strict no children policy. Off to radiation.
We got into radiation quickly and home by 11:40am or so. The girls had a play date with Angi and her girls. They headed off to Classic for some water fun and bouncing, while I got a great nap.
Thanks to dinner by Sarah, all the snacks are going to come in handy. Running low on those! Thanks to all my family and friends that are still helping out and are willing to do just about anything to help us out. We so appreciate it! Much love to you all!
