Implantation Was Successful

Mom had the port implanted without any problems yesterday and was home a little after 11 AM. Well, no problems aside from a doctor behind schedule—she was due for it to be put in at 8 AM, had been there by 6 AM to do paperwork and get checked in, but the person that put it in didn’t get her back there to do it until 9:45 or so. Her arm is very sore, but not as bad as she expected.

Her first round of chemo starts Monday.

Meanwhile, the evening before, Phillip (her older brother) arrived with Shasta Creme Soda. Since Mom had wanted some since back she was in Hickory, and he had finally found some. He brought more than expected, though. Five cases of it. 24 cans a case.

There’s not enough room in the fridge for all of that, so it’s staying in a back room somewhere for a while.

I’d say that craving is satisfied.

Damn, that is a LOT of Shasta. At least she shouldn't run out anytime soon...

So glad there were no problems with the port. Prayers for her during her chemotherapy.
