Here is what we did today: We went to Same Day Service and got a Power Port put in. They sealed it with super glue and said come back if we have any problems. They took the old hose out and patched that hole, too. Now, doesn't that sound like we took the car in for repair?
Well, we didn't. We went to BroMenn Outpatient Surgery (they now call it Same Day Service) and they put in a mediport (they call it a Power Port). They made a small cut and stitched it on the inside. They put glue on it from the outside to hold it together. As for the old hose, that's the picc line she's had since March 16 - they took that out because they will use the mediport from now on.
The surgery went well. It was cold in the pre-surgery room, so they let her keep her sock hat on. She was in recovery for about 45 minutes. Once she woke up and could stand up, she could go home.
It all reminds me of a 15-minute oil change! But I think that visit will be a little more than $19.95.
