the Chemo Port

2 1/2 yrs after having it put in, I had chemo port removed April 2, 2014.  Surgery always makes me nervous.  My surgeon snapped this photo of the port after taking it out and cleaning it up.   Yes I wanted to photograph it but the "happy juice" knocks me right out in OR!!  I am a light weight!!

Rock of Ages

I finally got to go see the Broadway show Rock of Ages thanks to my awesome sister in law Connie.  We took an early train into the city and started out looking for eggs in the big Easter egg hunt in NYC.  In total we found 26 and then went to grab lunch at Jekyll & Hyde.  I could have bought every skull in the place - lol - seriously!!!

Then it was time for Rock of Ages.  I was shaking I was so excited and almost forgot a friend had arranged a special surprise for me.  OMG was I surprised and happy, I got a goody bag with autographed program, poster, shot glass and a special sign for me with my name on it.
The show was AWESOME.   Connie and I laughed, sang and clapped - we had a rockin' good time.

the Chemo Port is OUT!!

Yes I had surgery to remove it April 2.  Here are some photos of Art work by my co worker and friend Andi to celebrate the removal of the Chemo port.  I didn't get to take photos in operating room because I went right out when they gave me the happy juice.  Oh well maybe at the follow up visit I get a photo of the port so you see what was inside me for 2 1/2 yrs.  I feel a freedom now that it is out. 
I will be going to see Rock of Ages with my sister in law on Sunday to celebrate the removal - so excited to see this show.
Peace love photography!!

Artwork by Andi before de-porting

Art work by Andi the day after the de-porting

Chemo aport removal is tomorrow

So I decided to paint flower over the port as a way of saying good bye to it

I was pet sitting when I did this lovely artwork and my friend Andi did the artwork in the last photo

By the way I am a photographer not an artist so my flower is sad looking but its by me

I drew a heart to send live to the good fairies of chemo for helping me

Artwork by Andi - she painted my head for Chemo 2 times so I had to ask her to paint the final goodbye for my chemo port
