November 1, 2013.. I got the new port put in today. It is inserted into the carotid artery at the neck and the other end goes into the right atrium of the heart. It took longer than the previous two times I have had it done. I think the doctor that did it was just learning how to do the procedure. Someone kept telling her things to do and she seemed to be having problems while she was trying to put it in. The bottom line is, I got it put in and all is well. Tomorrow I start on the chemo that will be delivered by the two pumps I will carry in a bag that looks like a camera bag.
After we finished at the hospital, we went to the Old Mill in North Little Rock. It was shown in the movie "Gone With the Wind". Our friend, Dena, had shown us a photo of this mill in a magazine, and we went hunting it today. We are thinking we had better get our running around done while I am feeling like it. I am including some photos I made at the Old Mill.
