Ever been stabbed in the chest with a safety pin between your ribs? I was three times today! It felt at good as it sounds. I still have the needle in, because I’m being pumped full of ass chemicals right now. I’ll be here for about four hours, but it’s way better than staying all night.
Oh the chest stabbing, that’s because I switched my horrible PICC line (remember that thing in my arm?) out for a chest port. It looks like this, but under my skin:
Looks like I’ll be stopping back into the the hospital for an injection every day this week, which is annoying. An oncologist was just in here, though, and he compared chemo to being in Vietnam War. The soldiers who were drafted that saw the war as an inconvenient and just put their time in were better able to adjust to post-war life than the people who totally took to the the war lifestyle. Basically he validated the fact that I’m getting annoyed with all of this.
So I’ll change the subject to my new hat! I swiped it from the front office in honor of both the disgrace of The Broncos and Syracuse. Go orange and blue!
I have you in my prayers…i am enjoying your writing skills and whatever helps…helps right.
it sure does, thank you rita!
It’s okay to be annoyed. Just keep doing what they tell you. And I like the new hat:)

Thanks, hiiii 🙂
Hey, Jason! I think you were smart to opt for the chest port…hopefully the discomfort you must feel having it attached, etc. is MUCH less than the PICC line…You are rocking the hat! Continue to be proud of the orange and blue! Can’t let a few bad apples ruin the entire “basket”…( Your humor is so much better than mine…)XXX
