Yesterday Steve helped me remove the bandage over the incision where my port-a-cath was. It's gone! Yeah! 
Finally. We also--very gingerly--removed the post-surgical bra and washed it and dried it while I took a shower. It felt wonderful to be clean. I still had a bunch of presurgical markings and betadine (brownish orange disinfectant) on me. It's amazing how much better you feel after a shower. However, the heat from the shower and the pain meds left me feeling really lightheaded. Sure enough, my blood pressure was way down. There's a price for everything even things as basic as taking showers. Anyway I'm back trussed up and wondering when or if the pain will go away. In the meantime, there's a tune fragment that's bouncing around my head, which I need to write down before it escapes.
TGFM.
