I swear this pain is worse than the c-sections I have had. Today is my simulation and tomorrow is the port. Anyway, we are getting things done, and I am ready go get all this started. I did cry yesterday talking to the gastro Dr. who put my tube in. He was really nice about it, and said go ahead and cry. He said this stuff is nasty stuff. His nurses said that if I cried too much they may start crying right alog with me. I really have some wonderful Drs taking care of me and a lot of support.
