I do like Dr. K's assessment that if the port is delivering the medicine, then it's working okay. One less thing to worry about every day! Hope the sun begins to shine soon!

Hopefully others will be spared Far Guy's situation. <br />I admire your strength, both of you, in dealing with these serious health issues. I also like that new Doc.

Seems the health care system is failing a lot of people these days and it will only get worse. Yes, antibiotics have been misused but for some folks they are a life saver - Far Guy is an example. Sure wish Far guy had been properly diagnosed years ago so he wouldn't be suffering today. Take care of yourselves and try to stay warm and healthy.
