Home on Wednesday

I was able to work a full day on Monday, was exhausted in the evening but it was a good tired. :-) It was so good to see people and thank them in person for their prayers and well wishes. Again I am amazed at what a great crowd of people I get to work with.
Then I worked a half day on Tuesday, and spent the afternoon at the hospital having a "dignity port" put in. Al and James keep saying I should ask for a USB port instead. ( Techie joke) So now I have this

placed under my skin on the left side and the little tubing goes up to a vein in my neck. Jugular vein to be exact. The purpose of this little do-dad is to ease the chemo and blood work, nurses can just tap into this port to access to my blood stream either in or out. Then they won't have to keep poking up and down my left arm looking for a decent vein. I had moderate sedation, but I kept talking to the surgeon so he kept asking the nurse to give me more sleepy stuff. It didn't make me sleepy until I got home! 

I had a little dinner and a huge glass of water, (I couldn't eat or drink after 6am Tuesday morning.) Then I went to the couch with my God circle quilt and slept until about 9 pm. I was kinda awake for an hour and then went to bed. And slept in a little on Wednesday. Today I am working from home, a little sore but not bad. I can go back to work on Thursday. :-)

The whole medical profession is so amazing, I've had great nurses and doctors and the relative ease with which they can treat a deadly disease is amazing. I wish I could calm my nerves better when I am there, they try so hard to make me comfortable. God is so great, this is all the effect of centuries of sin in the world, but He keeps helping man learn how to handle and treat some of the effects. God is so good to us, specially since we don't deserve it. His love is overwhelming!
