Surgery Day--Sandi's Port Surgery

Early this afternoon Sandi is scheduled to have her port surgery to remove the port from her upper right chest at her collarbone. The breast surgeon, who put the port in on the day before Thanksgiving, will finally take the thing out of her. While it did exactly as intended allowing the chemo to go straight into her heart and then out through her body, it has also caused Sandi a tremendous amount of pain on a nearly daily basis.

Assuming all goes well, once it is out Sandi will be one step closer towards her goal of having a normal life again and getting back to work and other things she still can't do now.

I will update later today when we are back as to how things went and how she is.

I've had on of those things in me before so I have a bit of an idea what she's been through. Sandi will come through just fine and be ready to kick butt soon.

Kevin, you and Sandy just keep on trucking. You're so close to putting all this in the past. We're all pulling for you.

Apparently it was locked in there pretty good, Randy. No butt kicking tonight but hopefully soon.

Thanks, Graham. I hope you are right. Came home to see the news about the GMA anchor and her new battle and it is something they warned Sandi about. Hopefully that won't happen.
