Busy day

My first appointment of the day yesterday was at Dr. Termuhlen's office.  She was gone so I met with one of her colleagues.  After the introductions she said, "oh, you're that patient."  Great, not only do the residents have a competition to see how much fluid they can drain, I am now "that patient."  I expect them to start yelling "Norm", oops, "Sharon" when I come into the office. There was less fluid today so the rice boob did have some effect.  Not as much as I had hoped but some.

Then on to Dr. Romer's office.  One of the advantages of the port is supposed to be that I don't have to get stuck for blood tests.  That never seems to work out because the nurses have such a hard time with my port.  I don't understand it because there is no problem when I have my chemo.  And there is still a stick, it is just in the port area.  Anyway, after getting stuck unsuccessfully at the port I still had to have blood drawn from my hand.  I guess from now on I will just let them draw from the hand in the first place.  The blood results were good.

The last stop of the day was Annabelle's for my prosthesis.  I did a quick look at wigs while I was there and was not impressed with anything.  They had some fabulous hats which looked horrible on me.  So I walked out with a bra and the prosthesis.  It is definitely softer than my rice boob.  And I don't have to keep pounding it into shape when it gets out of kilter during the day (sorry guys).

By the time I got home I was done for the day.  Not quite knackered (I love that word) but definitely not doing anything else for the rest of the day.
