What made this #InfusionDay so special was the care and attention provided by my nurse. I heard mixed reviews on the process of accessing a Port and I’ll admit I was a little nervous. Thankfully my nurse eased my anxiety by walking me through the process step by step. She took her time and explained everything in great detail from using sterile gloves, applying numbing spray, how to locate the area to insert the needle, and the proper way to de-access making sure to flush with heparin. My experience accessing was a breeze and I didn’t feel a thing!
Heyyy! I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family and friends for “Thank You Day” as my Goddaughter calls it lol I hope the day was filled with lots of love ❤️
I had my appointment earlier this week and was hoping for the best. My surgeon asked me how things had been since we last met and I told him that my incision had been weeping a little bit and I saw a small hole, but I didn’t think much of it. I thought the small hole was there from when he removed the stitches. He didn’t seem too concerned initially, but when he took the bandage off, the port was right there big as day. As discussed during our last meeting, if I experienced further wound dehiscence or an exposed port that he would remove it immediately so I won’t become septic or develop any additional infections.
I saw my surgeon last week. He said things are healing nicely but he could see a little old blood leftover from my incision. He cleaned it and removed two of the Nylon stitches and will leave the rest in for two more weeks.
I apologize for the delay in providing an update. It’s been a really rough week but I’ll share more about that later. I was discharged from the hospital Sunday afternoon and extremely excited and thankful to go home to my bed, my shower, and room where I could have uninterrupted sleep.
