Yes, it's true - I fell down. See, it's like this - I was running at work in my cape (yes, I have a cape) on Halloween and I fell down. I really biffed my left arm - I couldn't really move it for awhile. I got in x-rayed and they say it's no broken, I just strained something. So I've been taking it easy and trying not to move my arm. It's hard because it's my upper arm and those muscles are always working. I bruised my legs too - it was hard to walk and go up and down stairs for a few days, but they're better too. Yes, I'll stop running - at least I wasn't carrying scissors!
I got my new chemo appointment - it's 11/14 (next friday). My friend Jess is giving me a ride, so I'm all covered there (thanks, Jess!). I talked with the nurses about my new port and they said it's really up to me, that they could have the SCCA surgeon recommend a general surgeon at UW to do it (apparently they do it all the time). But the options aren't that great - something in the middle of my chest, something in my arm that probably won't work, or a dangler. None sound appealing and since it's up to me I said, "No thanks!" As long as they're able to get blood from my arm without having to stick me a billion times, I'm going to stay with the current process. I'll practice my speil to the blood draw people so that it comes out smoothly, "IneedmyportaccessedandIalsoneedablooddrawfrommyarmbecausemyportdoesn'tworkbutitsokayforinfusions.Thanks!"
Anyway - that's what's going on with me. What's going on with you?
