..bye, bye port

TODAY the port came out. Was a little leery that the doctor was doing it IN THE OFFICE and not in the OR, but it went fine. Only discomfort was the 900 needles to numb it!! (well, maybe only 3-5) No stitches, just derma bond and a couple of steri strips. Started to bleed, but I put a bandage on it, doing good.
Doctor said the lead was not working properly. My only good thing is that I DON'T EVER WANT TO HAVE TO USE ANOTHER PORT AGAIN!!!
Came home and finished "THE HELP" on the cool, cool porch. Took a little nap and I think I may retire early. Just a little sore...tylenol extra strength usually works good!!
Ahh....port no more...maybe now I'll try PORT WINE!!
