Port

Ma had her port inserted on Tuesday. Her appointment with the surgeon was canceled the day before, but we had a hurried consultation with her the next day before the surgery. It took less than an hour. Ma had a MAC, somewhere between general anesthesia and conscious sedation. She was given three different anti-nausea medications when surgery ended, but she still got nausea. The nurse gave her another drug, and that seemed to help, but all those drugs made her very drowsy. We had to wait several hours before taking her home. The good news is she had no pain at all the next day.
