Medical ports

https://youtu.be/bMXvjrMWcNQ

I had a port placed on Wed, 8/30/17.  It's a device that allows access to a vein (jugular) without having to poke me all the time.  Chemo drugs are very hard on everything including veins, I guess.  It'll be good in the long run.  I've got an incision on my chest and I guess on my neck.  2 bandages.  The put the port in the chest and run a tube through your body to the jugular and somewhere near the heart.  I felt the heart part.  Lots of pressure and pain near my heart.  ugh....I'm super sore today.  I got carsick on the way home.  Didn't vomit, just really nauseaous.  I hate that feeling.  5 days till the red devil comes into my life.  I'm nervous
