This is the first time she's had the PORT used. The nurses had to poke her twice and she said it hurt like ____! (And no, she didn't say the word____.) She did say it hurt bad enough that it kind of made her shake inside. A little unnerving like! So, right away we had them get us a Rx for topical lidocaine. We'll use that for tomorrow, for sure.
Tests came back and so she is going to get a unit of platelets and a unit of red blood today. Then they'll do post tests and see what she will likely get tomorrow and Monday. Get her filled up so we can go to Bear Lake after the Monday visit is over. I remember my dad saying, "filler up" to the gas station attendant - whole new meaning here.

Diane is very thankful for any well wishes, even if she is not able to respond to all of them.
