I have been deported!

Well folks,I have been deported! That is to say, I have had my mediport removed. This morning to be exact! I had to be at the hospital at 7:45 in the morning. Ugh. Now thats a hard fete but I made it. I dragged my roommate Angela with me (thanks Ang!) as they said to bring someone with you because of the sedation. Well come to find out after all was said and done, I didn't have any seditives so really didn't need an escort, but it was a funny experience.
We got there, i got registered then went on up to the vascular radiology dept. They let Angela go in the room with me and this young guy named Bradley I believe came in. When walking to the room, i heard him quickly say his name, while just staring at Angela. Once in the room he repeated his name, then added the Dr Speilman or whatever it was, and still would look at Angela. lol. In my head I was like hey I know she's the hot one but hey I'm the patient lol It was rather amusing. Then we moved to the room next door and waited awhile. the nurse came in , took a look at the veins and said yeah these will work basically. Then came back and said, they said you don't need seditives they're just gonna numb up the area so you don't feel anything. Ummm ok. So after a while of waiting Dr Charles is ready to being. And they kick Angela out back to the waiting room. then they begin. I'm just layin on the stretcher in a gown, jeans, tennis shoes, they stuck a cap over my bandanaed head. He numbed up the area, which friggin stings! Then started slicin and dicin. there was a point where i was like ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch! "Ooohh thats just the scar tissue that hurts more", was the response. then i said "well use more lidocaine!" they did. it was a gross feeling when he was tugging away trying to pull out the port. after a year I guess it was nicely stuck in there! ick gross, cuase he was tuggin pretty hard for it to come out. then he stitched me up. There was a couple little spots where it stung a little more but they said no more lidocain lol. then it was done. I think it took like 15-30 minutes in total. During the procedure, the doc was making small talk like "Do you have any children?" To which i said, no. then it was, "do you want any?" which i said, "someday but i have to have the husband first." "Well when is that happening?" "Ummm thats a good question" lol. Then it was "what do you do?", "I work for a publishing company" (which he actually knows of and subscribes to one of our jrnls, which is apparently expensive lol) and I said I sang and oh didnt he hear my roommate singin in here earlier. his reply was "oh that was your roommate? You two must be a force.....maneaters!" hilarious. But I think through this morning they all probably thought we were lovers lol.

Then we left, went to breakfast, did some shopping then came back. Then i took a nap yay! I love naps!

I have to say, the removal was much easier and moving around afterwards, much easier. I remember when I had it put in, it was hard to lay on my side or stomach but now I can lay on my side, well not that side, but get to the side easier and move without any problems.

So that was my day!
