Thanks.

Oh, my aching self! Now one problem is the procedure which is just under the right side collarbone. Ta add to it they seem to have missed a vein in my chemo yesterday which is OK from an effectiveness standpoint because the medication works whether it's in a vein or not but when it's not right in the vein things swell up an hurt (which is why they do it in the vein) so my right elbow is also swollen and hurts. Then, to go for the trifecta they must have nicked something putting the catheter for the procedure in my right hand and the back of that hurts like the dickens.

Of course if I already had the port neither of those latter two events would have happened...

So it will take a few days for my right side to be back to OK but I can live with that.
