I got flowers from the nurses!!!! Actually they gave them out to everyone today. They did say I was an exemplary patient. I will take the compliment, but in actuality, our nurses and doctors have been incredible and should be the ones getting the flowers. You have to be a very special person to be in that field of work.
Well the portacath is in. They put it right under my left collar bone. It is great because it is under my skin and the tube is also inside, so nothing hanging out to clean.
Dr J did say playing the violin and shooting shotguns on that side of the body can affect the area a bit. (there goes my Tues night)
I am feeling better and recovering well from the surgery. But... looking ahead come the tough steps.
Thursday morning I start the Chemotherapy.
Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. Please continue prayer for the doctors and nurses.
Prayer request for me- for Erin and her strength thoughout this week in particular.
You are all amazing people and we treasure you all.
One way to get the most out of life is

ReplyDeleteDear Nate and Erin (and Carter, too....)--
ReplyDeleteSo many many thoughts and prayers are going your way through these tough days. I think of the three of you every single day--and like one of your friends said, you end up inspiring and encouraging those of us coming on board to do that for you! But that's who you are--and what will help you get through this. You're the best. Sally
