24 Hours Till First Fill....

....And I'm just a wee bit nervous (Okay, I'm lying. I'm REALLY nervous!).

I say this because I wonder just how they're gonna find the port hole. You can't even see it. The folks at CBSI will probably have to do an ultrasound JUST TO FIND IT!!

And then comes THE DREADED NEEDLE!! *ARGH!*

I can't stand a tremendous amount of pain (I'm thick blooded).

I called them up yesterday to ask if I needed to be on some sort of diet for the occasion, but Cheryl said all I need to do is just count on eating lightly (Which is pretty much what I have been doing all along) all day tomorrow, so no problems there.

But suffice to say, tomorrow is not really a day I'm looking forward to (At least not until I know what's involved in the process).

Cheers :D

Pat - You will be fine!  I was nervous but it is really pretty painless.  The part that hurt the worst was when he was massaging my port area to soften up the scar tissue.  Really - you'll be more than fine! Julie

Diet = Did I Eat Thoughfully?

Hi everyone:

Well as luck would have it, the eventual will have to be put off till the 8th because I was on way out the door to catch the bus only to have one small problem....

I somehow managed to lose the RTD 10-Ride Ticket Booklet I needed for my bus fare!! (I knew I should've put that thing in my billfold, but knowing MY luck, I'd have found a way to lose THAT instead!).

So now I'll be seeing my PCP _BEFORE_ my first fill (But all is not lost. When they see my pants start to fall down like they did at my first post-op visit to Dr. Metz' office, they'll KNOW I've lost some weight ). My appointment with my PCP is on the 5th.

But thanks for the comfort anyhow! Nice to know it won't be excriciatingly painful. :D

Cheers :D
