So I now have a Power Port. I get to wear a purple bracelet identifying it and I carry an identifying card. The experience in the hospital was better than expected. The new Outpatient Pavilion is really beautiful. The decor is wonderfully relaxing. No TV's blaring. Just quiet. the panel over the fluorescent light above the bed was covered with a photo panel of a beautiful autumn scene in a forest by a river bank. The river rocks glistened and I was transported to that spot. The staff was friendly and helpful. Aside from being really looped on Vicodine after getting home that afternoon, I felt pretty good. The Vicodine was hard on my system so I discontinued on the second day.
