But Anyway.....
I had my surgery Christmas Eve Eve (12-23-10)
It went well at first. It was sore and uncomfortable- touching it hurt, the wind hurt, it was just sore and all of that jazz but nothing major. Although because of all of my issues, I do not heal properly and even 4 weeks later my catheter incision still opens up if it gets caught on something or if I move the wrong way.
So here is a little picture time-line of what went down:
Last IV in my arm for the foreseeable future!
First Time Seeing it in Recovery
Day 1- At home and you can see all three spots
Day 2- Christmas Eve
Day 3- Christmas
Arm Bruise is worse than the Port one! lol
Port in Memphis- Dec 30
No more Steri Strips! Jan 2

Zig-Zag scar
How it protrudes from my chest
Cream that numbs it before infusion
First Time Using it! Jan 5
Second Time using it- Jan 28
This last time I had a reaction different than normal so hopefully it goes away soon!
