Port to come out

Hi.

Jim's port got infected and the antibiotics killed off the infection, but there is a hole, where fluid was draining out. He saw the oncologist today and he needs to have the port removed. That's scheduled for tomorrow.

Once the area heals, he will have another port installed (probably on the other side of his chest). Then the chemo can resume.

A bit of a setback and a downer for Jim. Hopefully once the other port is in, it will be smooth sailing from there...
