Portal

Today I had a port installed for my next round of treatments. I have 2 freshly minted scars: one on my neck and one on my chest. The one on my neck, I didn't expect and it was a bit jarring, to be honest.

The surgery itself wan't so bad. Not eating for many hours and then being woken up from the best sleep I've had in weeks were the worst parts.

The port will make my life less painful for the next 12 weeks. So this is a case of my present self helping my future self.

One last thing, bendy straws wielded by Bryan contain the most refreshing drinks. Just saying.
