The title may indicate a small amount how I feel about pokes. Thankfully (I think) is one of the last times I will be getting poked. Due to the port being placed today I will be poked significantly less. Any labs taken will not be accessing the port so I guess I'll still have to tuff it out now and again.
I had one of the same nurses as when I had the biopsy and she remembered the Pain I had during that procedure so they added a bit more and thankfully I was "out cold". I am Way happy about that! Unfortunately the pain comes back shortly after you come out of it. Hopefully this is one of the last times for that to.
After port placement I went to have training on Chemo. They brought us around and showed us where my pod would be according to who My oncologist is. They showed us what the stations looked like and told us the basic ground rules. Thankfully not at all like school. I can go outside on a patio, or to the Cafe for food or hang out in my cube and watch TV, or take a computer and/or DVD player. Of course I didn't ask about loud obnoxious Fuzzy laughing Chemo Buddy characters, but I'm sure we'll find out how that fits into the ground rules soon after we give him a tickle ;-) he he ho ho haw haw.... Overall for having to sit hooked up to "medications" for 4 or so hours it seems like it can be somewhat endurable.
I'll find out for sure how this will all go this week Thursday. 9:15 arrival time.
