Smile Good news

A second culture of my port was totally negative, so it appears the first growth was some extraneous contamination. Anyhow my doc took me off of vancomycin after 2 days and said I was fine. The iv needle in your arm seems a bit cumbersome to me, but still better than shots in the tummy. Whatever works.
