Slow day today. Getting ready for the minor surgery tomorrow. Really hoping they put me out though from what I have read - may only be a local. (yucky)
Here is an explanation of what is being done.
A port catheter, or subcutaneous implantable port, is a permanent device that consists of a catheter attached to a small reservoir, both of which are placed under the skin similar to tunnel catheters. This catheter is placed completely under the skin. The patient's skin is punctured every time the catheter is used, but there are no restrictions on showering or bathing.
