It is 10:10 pm and I have finally been admitted to my room. I got here at 1:00 pm and had my Hickman catheter placed in around 3:30 pm. I am nervous my kids will pull at it once I am home. It is very sore right now. The sedation was the same as when I got my port. It is not fun, just makes me real tired. I had to wait in the recovery area until 9:30 pm when my room was finally ready. They had to wait for the other patient to be discharged and then spent an hour cleaning it.
This room is smaller than the rooms I have stayed at in the Conklin building in Hartford. I think the TV is bigger here though. The shower area is also really weird and small.
I will start my chemotherapy tomorrow.
People ask me how I feel about it finally being here and I don't really know how to feel. I just know it is something I have to do.
