for lunch today I microwaved left over pork that had been baked and it made it too dry, needless to say I got stuck, not a bad episode but did PB several times. I took tiny bites and chewed well but I could tell it was too dry and I shouldn't have eaten it, dang it I knew better, when will I learn!

ok, now I hurt at my port area, could I have pulled something when I threw up, I did actually throw up today, not PB'ing. Do you affect your port like that?

I did that once. I was extremely sore afterwards, even in the port area. In my case, I did liquids the next day to give my body a chance to recover and I then I was fine.

The microwave isn't a bandster's friend.... Everything I try to heat up in the microwave dries out and I cannot eat it. Well except soup........Hope you are feeling better.

The port is sewn into the wall of the abdominal wall do you may have just pulled a muscle. If you have severe pain in the next day or so I would call the dr.

I ended up calling my doctor, he's on call 24/7 and he's a real joker, you just gotta know him, he's such a sweetie, anyway, when he called me back from me leaving my message that I got stuck, threw up and my port was extremely sore, I answered the phone "hello, he said yes dear, I cracked up then he laughed and said it was normal and explained as you all have done that I have a muscle there and it may have pulled on that muscle. I told him I was so sorry to have bothered him on fall break with his kids and family and after hours and he replied "no problem, he loves his job and if I didn't feel any better in a few days to give him a call back". Don't get me wrong, he is professional when you go in but then again he will just sit there and shoot the breeze with you too and chit chat like you old friends. Doesn't make you feel like you're just money to him. I am still learning even tho I'm 4 months post op and yes you all are right, the microwave isn't my friend, hot tea maybe but not food. The left overs I had done was left over baked pork and I tried microwaving it just a min. and well guess it was too dry.
