What's in the pouch?

Yesterday I had my central venous catheter put in my upper right chest. It all went well under local anesthetic - all very easy and painless and we were back home by mid-afternoon.

This morning I was put on a drip for 2 hours and then I had my portable pump fitted which I have to wear for 48 hours. I have been given some anti-sickness pills to take over the next few days and we will see what side-effects materialise. It all went smoothly and the all the staff at the hospital were excellent.

We came home mid-afternoon and went for a brisk walk - so far so good! So we return on Saturday to have the pump unplugged.

All is revealed!

  1. Very impressed with the garden and with your magician hands you used when showing your portable pump. We do hope all went well with yor first dose of chemo. Shame we couldn't meet up but hopefully we will soon.
