Things have really been up and down the last few weeks. The stitches from the last port installation have been giving me trouble. It is time for them to be removed because it has been three weeks since the last surgery. Dr. Shorie removed two of them this morning after dialysis but one is so deep I am going to their office in Fort Worth tomorrow at 1:00 to have it removed. He tried but said he will have to do too much "digging" around in the tissue to remove it so I need to go to a more sterile environment because of the risk of infection. There is still a great deal of scar tissue from the removal of the other two ports so it is taking time for all that area to heal. I think I will feel much better when all the stitches are removed.
