PORT - NOW GONE!!!

Phew! The damn port is now history, thank goodness.  There have been many theories regarding why it "eroded" so seriously... too close to the surface, a result of the Avastin, poorly put in, loss of weight, etc.,etc.  But as the patient who had to deal with it on a daily basis I believe it was poorly inserted because it has been a problem since day one, always positional in that I would have to be sitting a certain way to get it to work. When I was sent in for transfusions several months ago it wouldn't work at all and lately it had become so painful that there was no way I was going to allow anybody to stick a needle in there! So that is one story over and done with.  Now I just have a little healing to do.

Other than that here is what is going on:  Christmas gifts being purchased and sent, windows now being put in so there are worker-guys here 8:00 - 4:00, decorations (minimal) going up, books being made, Christmas cards also being made, etc., etc. and finally hot-weather clothes being chosen and ironed for our trip to Colombia on the 27th.  Below is the mono-print I did for Claudia's mother.  I think it turned out pretty well since I had never done one of these before.  You actually paint on glass, then run the plate through onto watercolor paper. It's quite a process.

Between all this and my many doctor's appointments I'm slowly inching toward Christmas and then Colombia - something definitely to look forward to.

Blessings to you all!
