It has been a while since I have updated, sorry. I haven't been
feeling well. Thankfully it was just a chest infection and a round of
some strong antibiotics helped clear it up.
I had surgery
yesterday to remove my temporary implant and the port-o-catheter from my
chest. I didn't need the port anymore as I am done with Chemo, and
radiation would fry the implant and the muscles and tissue that hold it
in place. I am going to settle for being flatter than a man on that side
:) and an external prosthetic.
I'm in a lot of pain but surgery
went well. The surgeon was able to easily remove the port, and to repair
my chest muscle, reattach it and remove some scar tissue that has built
up. It will be a slow recovery, 6 weeks until I can lift on the left
side. I will start radiation in about 3 weeks, as soon as I can lift my
left arm above my head.
I'm feeling pretty puny, so this will
have to be just a short entry. It actually kinda hurts to type. Thanks
for all the love and support.
