Port flush

On Wed. I had to go in for a port flush and to have labs drawn for my upcoming oncology appointment. I absolutely hate going into the chemo room for the port flush! Makes me very sad! 

As usual the nurse sprays the numbing spray, inserts that evil looking needle and flushes saline in. Then she draws my blood tubes and flushes again followed by heparin to prevent clotting. Oh the taste of saline! That is still a bizarre thing to me. 😝
