surgery

Hey everyone. After a nap and some food I'm feeling better. I had my surgery today to put my port in and also a bone marrow biopsy. Everything went very well. The worst part is went I wake up and my hangy ball is all swollen because of that breathing tube that stick down my throat. I got a sweet wrist band and a card to put in my wallet to prove that I have a "powerport." Supposedly they are new and not many people have them. They are made so that they can withstand high pressure. They have to put the drugs in FAST and the other old ones would just blow up.

Tomorrow is my spinal tap so that they can see if it has spread to my spinal fluid. Friday is my meeting with Dr. Dar. We are going to go over ALL the results from the 50,000 tests that I have done.

Then we are going to Milwaukee Tuesday. They are going to put the other port in my head when we get down there. He explained it like a door into my brian. Kinda like a hole in my skull that is covered with the port. Kinda weird if you ask me. They also want me to shave the head before that. Prolly this weekend?  maybe start with  a little fryers cut and move from there...Amy thinks its gross :)


I heard an amazing quote today off a Gatorade commercial:

"What is strength? Maybe its the result when we run out of weakness"
