I dont want to take over Flower's thread. Hope she is doing ok!!

I am scheduled for a port revision on Tuesday, which will be 12 days before my wedding/honeymoon cruise!!

Has anyone had a revision?? Will I be able to go swimming?? Should I postpone the revision until after the wedding??

Help!!!

Patty

Patty,

They'll probably tell you not to swim for a few weeks to let the incision heal, so you might want to wait. But ask your doctor first and see what he says. He might tell you it's no problem.

Thanks for the quick reply!! I wish my Dr was around today!! I guess I will have to wait until Monday to talk to him!!

I will probably wind up postponing the revision if its going to mess up my vacation.

I was thinking about this, and I think I would postpone the revision. I don't know the details of your wedding, (congrats btw!) but you probably have 800 million things to attend to, and while a revision is minor, it is stil surgery. You are still going to I would think that the revision would add only 20 bizillion gallons of stress right now.

I would reschedule the revision for when you get back. This way it woun't interfear with your fabulous wedding & cruise!

Congrats!

What are you nutz? LOL!!

Of course reschedule that surgery.

I had port revision surgery and although I was better able to move around than when I had the initial surgery I can't imagine going on a honeymoon after that.

No making whoopee!!

No swimming!!

No swinging from the rafters!!

POSTPONE that surgery. Enjoy your honeymoon and then get it done. Too much to deal with pre wedding to then have to deal with recovering from a surgery too.

You guys are the best, Penni you made me laugh!!!!! (I think it may have been whoopie that messed up the port to begin with, LOL...See I should have waited until we were married........)

Last year we took the same cruise and I got a bad case of cellulitis (i am sure i spelled that wrong), I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days then I had to give myself IV antibiotics for 10 more days....I think I will call them Monday and postpone it until the cruise/wedding/honeymoon is over...

And I do have 800 bazillion things to get done!!!

Thanks again,

Patty
