yesterday's news.

So Friday turned out to be quite the day.  Yesterday morning my port was placed, which went relatively well.  Even though nothing was painful, I wish I had been a little more asleep.  Today I'm pretty sore but it's been so much better as the day has progressed.


I thought about taking a picture of the port incision, but it's too frankenstein-like at this point.... so I decided to take a picture like this:

That's right!  "Port day" became "engagement day" and that's so much better.  Erik proposed yesterday evening and we are planning for a quaint private wedding in Randolph, Vermont on March 24, 2012... 2 weeks from today!  Our hope is to be married while I still look and feel like myself and tackle this journey together.  We'll be planning a reception and celebration hopefully next summer when these treatments are behind us and I'm back to myself.  


I don't anticipate any news until after chemo starts March 15... just working and making room for Erik in my shoebox apartment.  Thank you for all the emails and messages, you all are the best.  Talk to you soon.


Love,
katy


P.S.  Our wedding venue:
