New Plumbing



End of September I obtained some new hardware.  A vascular surgeon installed a titanium port catheter on the left side my chest and neck.  A thin plastic tube was inserted into a blood vessel to provide a painless way of drawing blood or delivering chemotherapy into my bloodstream over a long period.

If you ever want to get a seat on crowed subway in NYC where a huge piece of balled up gauze taped to your neck.  Works like a charm.  Although, I was sore after the surgery (thank you Jesus for Vicodin), I am starting to get used to my new plumbing.

  1. Yeah, people definitely reacted to seeing that bloody gauze on Shane's neck. He looked like Dracula had attacked him.
