It is finally admit day. I am officially checked into the Mayo hospital. My day started with more insurance dram as we learned yesterday afternoon that they had deemed this treatment experimental (sound familiar?). I was scheduled to check in for my port placement surgery at 5:30AM, but with the insurance news, we had to postpone and wait for the insurance people to get in the office, so that Dr. S can talk with them and try and set things straight. The insurance issues ended up not being too much of a hassle (for now) but it really did add to our stress level at a time when we could do with less. I ended up with the surgery happening at 9am and was in my room by 11:30 so it was not that much of a delay. The port went in without any issues so there is not much to say about that, I am a bit achy but that is to be expected with any surgery. All the activity gets into full motion tomorrow with my first round of chemo, so for now I am just getting comfy in my new home and with my new port. I can add in that the room is pretty good; lots of space and a distant view of the McDowell mountains. I will save the details regarding the chemo for tomorrow's post as I will then be into it and hopefully have a better understanding of what's happening before I write about it.
I also wanted to take a second to add another THANK YOU to everyone- your well wishes, meals, and emails have been great.
