Had my port changed out yesterday b/c the old one wasn't working properly. Dr. said I have to take it easy for two weeks...no lifting, walking, etc. Main thing is to keep the incision dry so the "glue" it is held together with doesn't come off. MrMunch changed the dressing at lunch and it looked really good so hopefully it won't get infected. One thing good....new port is a "power port" so it can be used for putting in the contrast for CT scans and I won't have to be stuck. Love you all. I'll still be keeping up with all of you every day!

Sounds like an improvement, but sorry to hear you're kind of housebound for awhile. Take care, and good to hear Mr. Munch is a good nurse!

Ouch. But a working port is better than a semi-functional one. And a power port! Cool. Is it 110 or 220? Rest up.

Hey Munch, Just take it easy and let MrMunch pamper you then - doctor's orders! Glad it seems to be doing well - hope the new port is a big improvement. Those dang things are pain aren't they (but sure beats getting stuck all the time.) I'll be thinking of you. Skip

I am hoping it heals up fast and perfect. You have been through a tough road. Hopefully this will make what lies ahead easier.
