Here's a shout out to caregivers

I had my port placement surgery today and that went well and I'm relieved! There's so much opportunity while getting all these procedures etc etc for stuff to go wrong that I just wanted to tell you all how many things went right today during my hospital sojourn:

1) my husband sat and waited with me for 4 hrs before the procedure- since they were backed up- and we had the opportunity to talk about about what's hard for him watching me go back into treatment and being a caregiver. This man does not talk much so what a gift! and what patience to be there with me!
2) The prep nurse was warm and friendly and competent! Placed that IV as well as I've ever had done
3) I got a big enough gown so that my butt didn't hang out
4) I always had warm blankets
5) The anaesthesiologist? was thorough and kind and I got the right amount and not too much
6) port was placed in same spot on left with no scar tissue getting in the way "slipped right in!"
7) there was laughter and good feelings in the OR
8) I always had warm blankets
9) the prep nurse found yogurt for me after the procedure even though it's not on the floor
10) I got hugs

I am so grateful and appreciative for all the good care I got today. Life's little wonders and sure helped me take one more step in front of the other.

all the best, Leslie
