Doctor's visit today because I'm a nervous nellie.
And here's the long.
I've been having a bit of discomfort on my right side ever since our descent from Pike's Peak. It began with an achey, feeling around the area of my port along with occasional sharp pains. It has gradually begun to be in my arm and my chest and almost like in my joint. So today I had an appointment with the PA in my doctor's office. She did an EKG and is ordering a stress test. I don't know exactly when that will happen yet. She also put me on a regular dose aspirin a day until we figure it out. If it's still hurting after the stress test, she will think about having an ultrasound done to look at the area that was occluded when my port went all awry during chemo.
In the meantime, I'm trying to stay low and slow.
