Bye-Bye to External Tubing

I am getting the catheter out today. I can not express how anxious I am to be rid of this.
It has served me well. But... bye-bye.


They do it only under local. Just the lidocaine shots in my chest. Then they yank the thing out.
I have to say... I am nervous. But it will (hopefully) be quick and go without a hitch.
My luck with these things has not shown in my favor in the past. Today WILL be different.

My appt. on Tuesday... my P.A., Aaron, said that he sees absolutly NO REASONS they will not give me the green light at my appt. on Friday that I can go home. My brother comes in tonight and stays till Sunday. So, Mom and I plan on heading straight for Naples after we drop him off on Sunday morning for his 11am flight.

Homeward bound...

  3. You're home for Thanksgiving! That's wonderful. I somehow missed this post and just found it now. My son will possibly begin the process as early as next week. He sees the Oncologist again on Tuesday and might be admitted for the first chemo later that week. He's not looking forward to it, but since there's really no choice...you know how it goes. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family.
