September 8, 2009

Mom had to be at Blanchard Valley Hospital at 12:30 to have a port put in for intravenous medicine.  She was so nervous about it.  They finally took her back around 2:15 and she was finished in about an hour.  She had a very tiny incision in her neck, which was closed with glue, and the port incision.  They said she got along very well and she enjoyed the nurses who took care of her.

When we got home, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get her in the house.  I learned to keep my cell phone on me in case I need help.  She was upset because she couldn't get her legs to move up the stairs.  She was sort of frantic, so I tried to just calm her and we waited until she could do it. 

She's very comfortable and resting in her favorite chair now.  Tomorrow is her first Torisel treatment at Dr. Cole's office.  I pray that goes well for her.
