It is the second day of my port being gone and I am simply emotionally devastated. There's only a sore spot left where it once was, and I know they won't put it back on for me. Every once in a while the area stings a little. When I reach over to touch it there is a raised spot where some gauze is located and it's almost like I still have a port.
I am sure that these feelings will pass.
I wasn't supposed to take a shower today, so as we were going somewhere I took pains to wash my hair and other places without doing a full shower. An odd process, but one that I know I can do again should I have to.
Tomorrow I am supposed to change the bandage after I shower with it on. I think I have about a weeks worth of bandages and I should change the dressing each day.
I find it strange and peculiar that "dressing" goes both on a salad and on a wound. What were they thinking. Let's hope that I don't get my salad and wound confused in the days ahead.
