I think I finally slept well last night and went to sleep at a decent hour again. I also didn't notice any significant hair loss this morning after my shower. I took off the last of the surgical tape over the incision where my port was put in. It is a larger incision than I thought it would be - probably a little longer than an inch across. The tape has been rubbing against my clothes and been kind of annoying which is why I took if off the rest of the way. It is a little tender still, but feeling better than it has.

My parents came by this morning so my mom can watch the girls while my dad takes me to Huntsman for my blood draw. I feel well enough to drive myself, but he wants to drive me. This time it is a very quick, uneventful visit to Huntsman. I checked in at the desk and then sat down for about 30 seconds before they called me back. They immediately took my blood pressure (which was a little high) and then she had me sit down for about another 30 seconds and then the nurse came out to take me into the room for my blood draw from my port. She was getting it all setup to access my port and was about to poke me with the needle when I realized that I hadn't put on the numbing cream before I left home! I thought about saying something because the nurse last week told me that if I ever forgot they could put some on there before they access the port. I decided just to suck it up and try it without anything - and I hardly felt it at all. It felt a little sore on my way out of the office, but I think it was just from the pressure of it being pushed on and still in the process of healing. I don't think I was there in the office for more than 15-20 minutes total.

The ward has arranged to provide a meal for us each Wednesday so we had one brought over by some neighbors of ours. I love the homemade breads and rolls that people have been making for us!

My milk is almost completely dried up - finally! I can now hold my little girls on my lap without it hurting me!
