1st dose completed

Well, I'm feeling pretty normal so far. At least as far as the chemo goes. I definitely feel like I had some sedation drugs today.. a little woozy. The worst part at the moment is that when the port was placed, the surgeon went through the jugular vein (I was expecting the subclavian) and so my neck hurts. Plus, it's just super attractive, I have to say.

My aunt called me last night and she was so funny. She said I should name my port. Now, I am not the kind of person who usually goes around naming inanimate objects (the Rat Patrol aside), so I wasn't too keen on the idea. However, after seeing the port this morning and the fact that it's purple, I can announce that the name of my port is the "Giant Purple People Eater." So, Aunt Gayle, there you go!

I am planning on going to work in the morning and hopefully will be attending a BBQ for a couple co-workers who got accepted to medical school and are heading back east. My sister will pick me up if I don't feel up to it and my friend will drive me home if I do. At the moment, I'm making potato salad.
