I've never thought of the port as a third nipple, although in my case it's the only nipple since I lost the real ones to cancer and haven't yet been cleared to get facsimiles tattooed upon my newly constructed breasts.<br /><br />For all its benefits, Anderson can be a hassle bc of the sheer size of it and the rigid protocols under which it operates. Of course, those things also help make it the best place to be. <br /><br />Do you have an Rx numbing cream? Ask for Emla. Put it on your port site or in the crook of your arm an hour before getting poked, cover w gauze & tape or Press 'n Seal and you won't feel the sticks & digging. It's not much but it helps.<br /><br />The giant bird creature is a male duck, very common around here. They're used to being fed by people so aren't shy. Weird looking, though.<br /><br />So sorry it was such a rough day. I'd say you need to sit out by the pool with a good book and a good snack (whatever sounds good), and soak up the sun. It's supposed to be a great weekend, weather-wise. Our friends from Boston are in town toasting their winter-weary souls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
