Port removal

February 10, 2019

On Friday I went to CMC hospital to have my port removed! Just a recap… a port is a device that is surgically placed under your skin and located on the left or right side of your chest. Looks like a small disk that is attached to a catheter. They would access this instead of having to put an IV in my arm every time! Plus the red devil can literally eat your arm off if it leaks out. Uhhhh… no thanks lol!! I was SO happy to say goodbye. It’s like one more thing done to get closer to the finish line. 

So the doc introduced himself and said “this procedure is a piece of cake and super easy. I will numb the area with lidocaine, make an incision and pull it out”. Bahhhhh! LIAR!! Lol I’m lying on the table and literally feel like im a fricken car being worked on by a mechanic. He said because I’m young and healthy there was a ton of scar tissue and a thick fibrous sheath over it! He said I was one of his hardest cases! What should’ve taken 5mins took 30!!!! Do I have bad luck or something??? Lol luckily I couldn’t feel any pain and just pressure of him trying to tug it out of my chest! Like I was waiting for him to put his leg up on the table to get leverage. Hahaha felt SO weird!! The staff was great though! There were 2 techs in the room, a nurse and the doc. We ended up chatting the whole time and making jokes/laughing! 

Tomorrow starts week 4 of rad! 
Lets do this  💪

Oh and I was exhausted for like 2 days straight last week. I was like dang this radiation is really starting to affect me. Nope… one night Jamie said “next time you get Kcups can you make sure not to get decaf”. Bahahah 😂😂 

XOXO ❤️
