My Port's a pain in the a$$

Geez... I've been banded for 18 months

Forgot what port pain felt like, you know, just out of surgery...

My day off, cleaning bending, laundry bending, vacume bending...

Even my knees hurt.

Just venting while folding..

Don't go there! I keep asking Billy "does it look like it's in the same place? little high?" Maybe a 1/2 inch, same scar. LOLOL

LOL!!! I'm confused! Is your port in your a$$ or in your knees? j/k

Hope your soreness goes away very soon!!!

Sorry it's all coming back to you Vera - tip: quit doin housework!!! Works for me!!!

Good to know you're getting better xx

Bright, that's the same idea I had, that housework will be there tomorrow, pamper yourself and that port until you reallllly feel like it.

Vera, I asked my surgeon to give me a written excuse...no laundry or vacuuming for six months. It didn't work, but you might have better luck. LOL Seriously, girl, give yourself some time to heal!

Vera, did you have your port replaced??

I tried to do yoga the other day and I think I stretched too much. My port started hurting. It was a good excuse to stop

Went fishing today, pulled out a largemouth bass in the lake off my back yard.

I also was able to lie on my tummy for the first time while Billy gave me a back rub.

Now that's my kind of day.

Denise, I had a hole in my tubing. Last week I had it fixed. To get to the tubing they had to pull out my port, fix the tubing then put the port back in. I still have the same port.

Fish on
