The Bad News is that my one remaining living hearing aid died on the way into town yesterday. R.I.P. you expensive piece of plastic crap.
The GOOD NEWS is that I have an appointment Tuesday morning to get my ears vacuumed in preparation for the MDA audiologist to test me for NEW hearing aids. (Meanwhile everyone was very accommodating yesterday even though it's a pain to be around me with no hearing aids.)
HUH?
The Bad News is they stuck me in my thumb yesterday for chemo. Okay, not really my thumb but in a really weird place and, let me tell you, THAT DID NOT FEEL GOOD!
The GOOD NEWS is that that is the next to last IV stick as I am having surgery on Wednesday to implant my port. It's very cool .. and it's PURPLE!
The port will provide access for all my future chemo, CT Scans & MRI. The the port will go under by skin (you can read ALL about it here), and a needle will be inserted but it won't be the "hide and seek" we play with my veins now .. so my hands won't be stuck multiple times or in sensitive places.
And that, don't you know, is the goodest news of all!
You hang in there, Warrior Woman!
