I had my first adjustment this morning. The flouroscope was so very cool. Dr. Minkin put in 1cc. I feel really tired today. Maybe from the nervousness, and maybe becaue of work stress.   I am on liquids only today, mushies tomorrow, and then back to regular rules on Friday. Chew, 4-6 oz. Stop when I first feel full. No liquids 2 hours after meals.   My port is very deep. My next adjustment will need to be flouro also. Dang... those cost $800 a pop.   ** REMINDER I need to see Dr.
