Amy asked that I post this update for her - she knew that friends and family would be waiting to hear how the port surgery went but hunger and sleep were higher priorities.
So anyway, she is 'all ported up' and ready to go. The surgery was out patient but she was still put under for it (although not as heavily as for the "removal"). Good thing too since it took 4 tries to get the port properly inserted in the vein. What was supposed to be a 30 minute procedure ended up taking 2 hours. She apparently feels fine with the exception of her right shoulder which feels like it was hit by a truck.
I asked about the glucose situation and she related that the nurse involved was somewhat snotty about the situation. As in, 'you can't have a bad reaction to glucose, you have glucose in your body'. Amy's response: ok, so I have a bad reaction to non-organic glucose. And then when the nurse's back was turned, she signaled to her that it was 11:00.
Go Amy!!

is that the same "signal" Janice used all those years ago to let Dad know what time she would be home?????
Yep. Only it was 1:00, not 11:00. And there was no reason for her to be so smug and snotty. So singally only 1:00 instead of 11, I thought, was a bit generous on my part.
That was indeed generous of you. Let's hope she was just having an off moment so as not to incur any real wrath during this marathon.
