I had my port taken out yesterday. That’s a device that was installed so that the chemo drugs could be directly infused into my heart instead of having to accessing my tiny, elusive veins. The port did its job and I’m glad I had it, but I’m very relieved to have it out. We went to the OHSU Center for Health and Healing on the waterfront, my first time there. It was pretty empty as far as I could tell. The views from that building are spectacular. There’s lots of construction going on around it. However, with the housing bubble bursting, I don’t know if it will fill in very fast after the buildings under construction are finished.
Dr. Pommier removed the port in an hour long procedure while we discussed astronomy. It seems that his first degree was in astrophysics. However, he was advised that he could be a professional surgeon and an amateur astronomer, but not the other way around. He took the advice to heart. However, he built and observatory in his back yard and has a 14 inch telescope. After the procedure, he took Howard and me to his office to show us some photographs of stars that he has taken.
