Port implant - December 19...

I was the only one anxious.  Paul was fine.  We got there about 8 a.m. and he went in about 9 a.m. and finished by 10.  They gave him Versid and pain meds.  No problems - went well - no pain.  As usual he was hungry and ate a big breakfast before we left for home at noon.

This port will make chemo treatments and blood draws so much easier as his veins are hard to find and deal with. 

Tomorrow is his first chemotherapy treatment at the VA hospital in Syracuse.  They are a special group of nurses and doctors there and he will be well taken care of.  I will hang out and give support, etc.  Just hoping side effects are minimal and we can celebrate Christmas as planned.

Happy Holidays!
