Which side? Oh yeah, the port side. Today at 1pm Pacific Standard Time, yours truly got her port out!!! It was the same deal as when I got it put in. I was awake but hopped up on Ativan. I put numbing cream on this time so I didn't feel the shots as much, but I did feel them stitching me up a bit. Still, not awful and I was just so happy to get it out. When I got it put in, it seemed like such a long time until I'd get it out, but today was the day. As much as it creeped me the hell out having a foreign object in my arm the past 4 months, I have to say, it made chemo way easier. They didn't have to poke veins. I numbed the area where my port was with a cream so I really didn't feel it when they'd access it. It's pretty amazing actually. Nevertheless, I am glad it is out. I will have a small scar on my arm but it's not bad at all.
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day
You've got this A.K. baby.
