A Very Simple Procedure I Think?

Got my portacath in place (that's nicer sounding than "installed") this morning. The operation/procedure started at 7:30 am and I was awake roughly 9:00 am.  Not a long time, and as I was able to do the potty thing, I was discharged. Hence it was a quick visit to the hospital.

It's 1:45 pm and the procedure site is a bit sore, but that's what the prescription for a week or so of constipation is for. Hopefully the nurse was on target when he said it should mellow out after a few days (too bad I couldn't have what they gave me to numb that area during the install, but that's likely too close to Michael Jackson territory?)

I'll update if it doesn't mellow out. Or if not before than after it's first use which may be a blood check next week.

I'd post a new pic of Cali the former kitty, but she's grown so much, I may need a fisheye ;)
