Last week Peg's chemo port was removed. It's the lil' gizmo that was placed just under the skin near her clavicle in June. Every three weeks, from July until October, we'd trek to the infusion center where a nurse would insert a needle into the port and put Peg on a four-hour chemo drip.
We were all surprised to see this cool-looking purple anodized aluminum thing emerge from Peg's chest. The tube had been directly inside a vein that went to her heart. The three small bumps on the silicone part helped the infusion nurse find the center.
As soon as we went out to the front yard to take these photos Peg noticed how closely the color matches the lavender petals.
Peg's going to incorporate it into some cool sculpture. For now it lives on the kitchen counter where we all play with it.
