Home again, home again

I had my port placement this morning. It only took about 10 minutes for the surgery. I woke up right out of surgery before they had a chance to remove my tube. I don't have a lot of pain, they gave me some demerol before I left. I'm doing really well, very alert, hungry, and sore. But, I feel good enough to try to make a teachers meeting at 4 today.

I start my chemo tomorrow at 9AM. They say it's going to last about 2 hours. A good friend gave me a cuddly blanket to take with me tomorrow. She has went through chemo as well and she said her blanket gave her comfort, so I'll take mine along too. One of my precious students gave me a beautiful breast cancer awareness bracelet Monday. I told her I would wear it to chemo for additional comfort. It's really nice to know you are loved.

The EVP3 I ordered is supposed to come in today, so I'll start putting that on my hair. Oh yeah, hair. I cut off 10 inches yesterday. It's up to my shoulders now. But, I love it. She also thinned it a little so there will be a little more heaviness taken off.

I'll update after chemo tomorrow. God is with me and I'm strong. We will put the breast beast out of business.
