Port Surgery Photos

 This is the room at IU North that I stayed in.

This is a look at the fancy room I stayed in. There was a TV, a toilet, and a desk plus it was very roomy. It was very nice!

A lovely nurse looking for a vein to put my IV in. She tried in this spot first, but, thanks to my lovely veins, it didn't work. She had to take it out and move on to another spot.

This is me all hooked up! I have my heart monitor on my finger and the IV in my forearm. She used an ultra sound to find this spot. 

 This is the doctor who performed the port placement. He was very nice, and he likes the bears!

 This is what the port looks like. The white "tail" is what goes into the vein, and the larger triangle part is what most people can see and feel.

 This is the needle that works with the port. The skinny, short, white tube is covering the needle.

This is me post surgery. I got to ride a wheel chair out to the car. It was my third wheel chair ride ever.

This is what my chest looked like a couple hours after the surgery. They used a glue over the incision cut and you can tell it started to bruise right away.
