Yea for Deportation!
Don't be afraid, and certainly don't be apprehensive about the removal. I also had mine removed in the surgeon's office, and it really was a piece of cake. I didn't want to go under anesthesia again, so choose to do it "like a big girl". The whole process probably took 30 minutes (numb the area, slight stick to deaden the underlying tissue, small incision to get to the port, and then I didn't feel a thing when he removed the tubing(. The only casualty was my hubby, who came in the room with me. He passed out while they were removing the tubing, and they had to call in staff to revive him. So, in our family, we always advise everyone not to take an observer with you. It is so much harder on them! Let us know when it is over. Hugs, Judy

sore tonight
felt pretty good after deportation....went to visit Mom in hospital @2 pm........... the numbing started to wear off by 5 pm........went to Chili's with hubby and brother and had a few Presidente Margaritas to help ease the pain....... thinking now of trying to get some sleep...Mom should be transferred to a rehab center tomorrow...so another full day...but better to think of someone else than myself! But I have to tell you all....wow, what a feeling to touch the area and it is flat (sore, but flat) rather than the 'raised' port feeling! It is definitely "MOving On"!!!!
