Realization

So I'm sitting here in round 2 of chemo.  Blood work looked good today (WBC and homogoblins), Oncologist is concerned about my weight loss (I'm not).

I've got the chemo cocktail pumping into me via a "port", which is some sort of device, about the size of a grape, that was surgically implanted near my left collarbone.  The port is connected to a vein so that they can just stick the needle in the port and not have to do a regular IV.

Anyway, I just realized that if they had installed the port on my right side, they would have had to call it a "starboard" instead of a "port."

Ha ha!  You can stop laughing now, by the way.
