New buddy

On Monday I had a mediport placed. It was a really quick procedure that was done by one of the radiologists I work with in the cath lab. And, yes, I scheduled it around his schedule to make sure I knew who would be placing it. Everyone in the cath lab (who I also know) was so nice and made me feel so comfortable during the whole thing. It was definitely more sore this week than I had expected, and I'm all kinds of fun colors of bruised, but it's healing up well. Of course, this is the one place Mason will push off of me or ram into which about brings me to tears every time. Hopefully the tenderness will get better...or I'll just get better at avoiding being hit. It is what's called a "low profile" port, so aside from the vanity aspect, I'm also now very glad that it doesn't stick out as much as the bigger ones do.

I have my first Tysabri infusion scheduled for Thursday. I'm anxious to see for sure that my port works, and nervous about the whole Tysabri thing, but I'm also looking forward to the possibility of feeling a little better. I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes.
