Port

The port is in and I'm feeling pretty good. They had to put it on the opposite side of my chest than last time, so my right arm/arm pit feels stiff. I am sure right now the deadening agents are still keeping the soreness at bay, but I don't expect it to be anything unbearable - if it is like the last port I had put in.
On the way home from the hospital I had Carolyn stop and pick up a bowl of my favorite fire-roasted garlic roasted soup from Paradise Bakery. It was a splurge - I am sure the salt content is way up there - but I figured I deserved a little treat before starting chemo. I don't feel a bit guilty. Who knows when it will taste good again. With my last chemo even water tasted strange.
I plan on kicking back this afternoon and rest. Thanks again for all your prayers. Tomorrow, we start fighting the beast!
