Linda,
Dean just saw his cardiologist this morning. He is also going to get a port, and asked the cardiologist if that would be okay. Dean has had open heart surgery twelve years ago, and has some blockage again. Our cardiologist said it wouldn't be a problem, that you are put out, but it is a mild drug, you are only out a short while.
He said it is usually the "Michael Jackson" drug, Propofol.
There are many people in the treatment room when Dean is receiving his Dacogen that have ports.
I hope Al is doing better, and I hope this helps regarding Al getting a port.
You are in our prayers!
Hugs!!!
