Ah yes. The port flush. It wasn't so bad. I had misplaced the numbing cream so I stopped by the clinic before we went to lunch and they gave me a new tube of it and the plastic covering. I had a new nurse for the port flush which made me kind of nervous...never know how long they have been doing it, etc. She was very good! I talked to her for a minute before parking myself in the big chair and I got kinda teary. She gracefully tried to distract me with chit chat and I let her...it helps. It took all of about 5 minutes to flush the port with saline and heparin and then to remove the needle. It really did go better than I was anticipating.

Next week I have an appointment with my surgeon for a check-up.

After they flushed my port, I walked Jeremiah over to the House of Care where he got to meet the woman who runs the house...she has been looking forward to meeting him so that was fun!!!
