    Where does hyper tonic fit in?

    The above ladies are correct. Just to help explain the basics of the order/drugs if you are not aware: Albuterol--take it first as it opens up the passageways short-term making it easier to get everything else in HTS--moistens & lubricates everything and helps moving gunk around...

    port being placed tomorrow

    Lauren, you are great; hopefully the pictures helped. Jeana, as for where the most common places are just below the clavicle (collarbone) or especially on women in the tissue just above the breast which provides some 'hiding'. The port is usually a bit larger around than a dime, and might be...

    Tap Water
