I heard back from a nurse about noon-thirty and had to go in to the center at 3 pm to get checked out by the nurse practitioner. She put me on a new, strong antibiotic, so hopefully that will do the trick and keep me out of the hospital. I was feeling more energy and strength in my body today, anyway, so that with the new med I am hoping will keep any infection from settling on the port and screwing up the next 2 and a half months like it did the last time.
I am very happy to be making chili for dinner in my own home instead of ordering hospital food to my room at the KU Medical Center. The next time I go there, I hope it is to remove my port because I am done with chemo and cancer.
