Sore
Talked to the nurse. She said ice in the port area to numb the muscle but some patients also use heat. Either way is OK.

I have been walking and its OK but the port area hurts. I have been taking my meds. I have been using ice on the port area since that's what they said to do. I guess it is just time.

Preop Diet. No Weight Loss.
I have been on the preop diet. I have had a lot of protien and lots of shakes. I have not lost weight and my surgery is Wed. Is that normal? I am so worried about my liver not being right. Anyone else go through this? I have had a few bites here and there of stuff but not much more.

How Long Did You Stay Home Post-Surgery ?
Scratch that... I will be off a month. I do a lot of physical work St my job. The nurse said nothing over ten pounds the first day then three to four weeks no more than twenty pounds lifting. The port attaches to some muscle and strain is bad. I lift, bend, pull pallets of freight, climb ladders.

True Results Richardson
I had one appointment and scheduled my surgery. Talked to Amanda a few times and wondered if after surgery when you went to the after care place was there more than a fill on your first visit. Do they call you to check on you? They said I would be off work for 5 to 10 days then I talked to Dr B office and they said four weeks. Mixed signals from the places. I know Dr B is the best that's why I chose him. Just curious.
