AJVDK Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hello All,I thought I would drop a line and say hello, and let you all know I am going to be having surgery today at 7:00 am. I am getting a PORT place. They are unable to get veins in my arms anymore, and I have one though 7 PICC lines so they said it?s time for a port. I am a little uptight about it. I talk to the doctors about my worries?. Like infection is the big one but they (all my doctors) believe it the best option as I need long term ABX, and fluids. I am hoping that in time I will no longer need the ABX for the lyme, and that I will be able to get it removed. So now I am going to have 4 boobs??. (That what I feel like my 2, plus my pacer, and now my port.) Due to me being down lately and now having surgery there may be a delay in the t-shirt orders. I hopefully once I get this port places, and am able to get the meds I need, and get though all the POTS Stuff that goes along with surgery that I will be up and around again early next week!Hope you all have a great 4th of July!
