Good Day ! Mood
Thursday, June 26, 2008 | A General Update story

Sing and Shout they finally got it right ! We had to get up at 5 am to get to the hospital for the prodedure  but it was worth it. I had to go to the Radiology department at the hospital.

The nurse in Arkansas has kept my internal port (access for blood and medicine)  flushed and operating for 8 yrs. No problems! This was like an  operation procedure. There were three technicians wearing gowns, gloves and masks. The first two technicians tried a couple of times each. They could feel the port but just could not get it to flush. Finally the third technician tried a couple of times and "glory be" she finally hit it and was able to flush it. I am so relieved that it is still working in case the liver problems I seem to have might need blood work or access. One more hurdle conquered. We'll work on another one next week.  Thanks for all of the prayers and support. Blessings to you all.
