More Tape!!!

12-15-08

Another day at the IMC and more tape!!!

This morning I had a brain MRI, another interesting scan experience. This time I wore a special “Football Helmet” to keep my head stationary as I went through the scanner. This scan is the noisy one where I get to wear ear plugs.



Afterwards I had a Power Port put into the area just below my right collar bone. This will prevent me from being stuck with needles while I am doing chemo. It was a smooth routine and didn’t hurt at all, tomorrow I might be thinking differently. I am excited to have IV’s and other needles done through this port instead of my arms. Ron says my arms are looking like I am a drug user because there are so many needle marks.


I arrived home to beautiful flowers from my friends at Skyline and thoughtful gifts from our friends at Heartland. The Tracey’s stopped by tonight and brought us some treats and some frozen pot pies that we can use on nights when I don’t feel like cooking. Carrie Ann Jensen also brought by some frozen enchiladas for us! Last night the Powells brought me some books and yarn so that I can knit while I am doing chemo! I continue to receive thoughtful cards, emails, and phone calls. We feel so loved during this trial! Thank you for all your prayers and support!!!!

Thank goodness technology has come a long way!! Maybe the noise is to just let you know its working.
