They let me keep my port as a souvenir and thought you would all want to see what it looks like, so here it is.
The middle part of it is soft like a pin cushion and that is where they would poke through my skin into that and then the chemo drugs would go through the white tube into my veins, pretty interesting if I do say so myself. They are also able to draw blood from there as well. It's made of some type of metal and so it was heavier then I thought it would be. No wonder I was in so much pain when it went in.
Overall the surgery went really smoothly and recovery has been MUCH easier this time around. Thanks Mom for taking me and waiting around for all the hospital 'stuff' to get done!

I've been thinking about you, Sheri. Glad it's out and that you're recovering nicely. I'm sure you're breathing a big sigh of relief right now.
Yay! I was just thinking today that I still hadn't heard how it had gone. Glad that everything went well and that you are one step closer to being totally finished. So proud of you!
I think that's so cool they let you keep your port. I hope Eliza gets to keep hers too. Yay for your port being out and I'm crossing my fingers the scar is small!
Yeah, that is such exciting news. It was nice of them to give you a souvenier. I'm glad everything is going well.
YEAH! Congratulations! We must be getting closer to going to dinner to celebrate!
We're so happy you're almost done with everything. Only 3 weeks of radiation left. That'll go by fast. We love you, and are so proud of you. You've been brave through it all. Love, Mom
I still can't believe how heavy it was. Weird.
YAHOOOOO!!! Congrats, we are so happy for you guys!
Ha! I love that you titled this "deported"... perfect! It made me laugh. I did not know it was so big... yeah, I bet that hurt going in... plus, you are so tiny, where did they put it? I am so happy for you to get that out... just one more step away from this entire experience. You are amazing.
