Catheter Inserted Friday A.M.

The long white part was inserted (under the influence of double Versed) into a spot just below my left collar bone.

This is not for injections, but to take out my blood once it has enough stem cells from my bone marrow in it for harvesting.

I start the shots of Neupogan this morning that will begin pushing the cells I need out of my bone marrow and into my blood. The blood gets really thick from this procedure, so they needed something wider (like this catheter) to take out my blood (next week.)
