Yay, good news! I went to have my port flushed today (the device that sits below the skin on my chest where an IV is inserted. My veins were so bad that I had to have a portacatheter inserted in order to have the chemo. Some patients have theirs removed after the chemo is over, but I've opted to keep mine as I know that I'll need it at least once a year for the colonoscopy as they put me completely out for it) and the nurses didn't recognize me. I was there every week or so for 7 months. The nurse who was going to flush the port walked in, looked at the name on the chart, looked at me, said my name out loud, looked at me again and said, "I'll be right back." I said, "no, you've got the right patient." She just looked at me and said, "wow." It's amazing what a make up and a little color in your skin will do for you!!

Hiya!
Sounds like you are on the mend. A great Blessing!
Yeah, I think I'd probably leave the port in, too..... it's way better than having your peripheral veins trashed again & comes in useful for doing labs & all that good stuff, too
RYC: Thanks, m'dear.....after everything you've been thru, I feel like a big baby whining about my silly stuff!
Love to yas.......AbbeyC
heh I know that's a compliment but at the same time I wonder how much of it is just an act. Like..I know he does care about me but at the same time I wonder if he's just saying it because it's what I want to hear. I don't know.
And I want to go to Tennessee to visit one of my best friends, but my parents won't let me. I'm in a lot of trouble right now with them...they say I'm lucky I'm not grounded for the summer like last year. All because I went out front at midnight...man if I'd have known they'd be this pissed off at me I would have never gone outside. Bleh.
Oh well...anyways, I love you so much!!! I hope things keep getting better [from this post...sounded sweet (: ]
Yayyyy! Irish is coming back! Glad to hear you're doing so well, hon.
Hugs,

As long as you have your health hon - all the rest is just gravy. Keep your strength, keep your head held high, and be happy
I am glad to hear you are doing so great!! I continue to keep you in my thoughts, and I hope that all things get better for you!
You rock!
You've texted??? I haven't gotten any ): They take my phone at 9 and I get it back in the morning.
Eh, I was just stupid last summer. Like last june, I snuck around and told my parents I was spending the night at my friends and I went somewhere else. heh. I deserved that punishment though. This one...I'm not so sure.
It's just that I know you're going through SO much...I don't want to bother you with the small drama in my life D:
That is great news. Thanks for stopping by.
Things will get better for you. Sometimes it takes awhile. I have been there ( minus the sickness). Trust in your friends and family and they will help you through.
