Here we go!

Today we get to fight back!  I've been look forward/dreading this day for nearly a month now but am happy it's here.  I will get a Bard Powerport Duo installed today in my first step to becoming some sort of cyborg.  For those unaware, a port is used in place of sticking me constantly to place an IV.  It is semi permanent and plumbed into a vein and sits right under the skin.  It makes for a reliable connection and guarantee that we don't miss a vein during infusions.  The "power" part means that they can push fluid in faster than regular ports so that it can be used for CT contrast and the "duo" means there are two places to plug in for double the fun!

After the port is in we will put it right to work with my first dose of Methotrexate than we will be done for the day.  Day 2 is the long one, scheduled for 10 hours.  I'll try and update tonight.
