Port-a-cath

Yesterday this thing called a port-a-cath was surgically inserted. Still feels quite sore, the pain will probably last for a few days.

Got this from wikipedia:
"In medicine, a port is a small medical appliance that is installed beneath the skin. A catheter connects the port to a vein. Under the skin, the port has a septum through which drugs can be injected and blood samples can be drawn many times, usually with less discomfort for the patient than a more typical "needle stick"."
