My Bruised Port Incision

[nightingale2u 42]

Hi Everyone... I was just wondering if anyone else had bruising like this at their port site. It actually looks better now... was completely black before. Besides... I had a burning desire to share a pic of my big ole tummy with y'all! :sick

I had a lot of bruising like that too. It eventually faded over the next couple of weeks. Best wishes, Teresa

Youza!!!! I did not have any of that bruising at all. That looks painful. I in fact had ZERO bruising. WOW!! That is impressive.

[La_madam 20]

Whoa!

I had ZERO bruisung. That looks so painful Darcy. Did your Dr. Say that was normal?

I don't recall bruising like the either. If I did, it was from the Lovenox shots I had to give myself, not the incision site.

I know... I look at it and think... no WONDER it hurts...LOL!!! I won't see my surgeon until Tuesday so thought I would ask everyone here while I wait. It is getting better so hopefully it isn't anything to worry about but it sure put a damper on my plans to sport a bikini over the holiday weekend! J/K

It is pretty impressive isn't it Penni???? I couldn't be more proud... it's the biggest and best hematoma I've ever had!!!!

Hi Babe

Just a quick note. I had major brusing like that, lasted weeks. Even lately a little bump and i"m black and blue.

Vitamin K works wonders, just dicoverer it a couple of weeks ago. You may what to try a small dose. Of course ask the doc.....If ??"s

Holy smoke, Darcy!!! That looks awful! It almost took my mind off the fact that you weren't showing us a purple bra...

I glad Vera says she had one too and it went away, 'cause I sure didn't.

Did I mention, "ouch!!!"?

[Penni60 45]

Darcy: It looks like the other site is bruised as well. Do you bruise easily? Did they say anything about you being anemic before surgery? THat could explain the extensive bruising.

[nightingale2u 42]

Hiya Vera! Not that I wish bruising upon anyone, but it's eases my mind to see that you and Teresa had similar results after your surgery. Now I don't feel like such a freak... not that there is anything wrong with being a freak...hehehehehe;)

DONALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU"RE BACKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! I'm always the last to know as you can tell from my excitement! :cheeky Welcome back and BTW... we all missed the heck out of you!!! Oh and don't worry... just because the purple bra and the steamy red glove aren't visible, does not mean they aren't there! Glad you're back!

Penni... Nope... not anemic at all but do tend to bruise easily... tis the only delecate thing about my body! The rest of me is as sturdy as an old farm hand.

Every one of my sites had been bruised like that. I bruise pretty easily though. The doctor saw mine when I had been in the hospital and didn't say anything about it. They stuck around for a couple of weeks and went away. T

[Rebeccalee 2]

That is some bruise! I didn't bruise like that, but it felt like that

I would've gotten more sympathy at home if I'd had one of those puppies!

Hope it feels better than it looks. Good luck with your healing.

Hi Darcy

Its Tuesday. What did your doc say? How are you feeling?

O new banded one.

Penni, I've battle anemia since I was 13. That probably explains my bruising.

[nightingale2u 42]

Hiya Vera... What a sweetie you are to check in on me! The Doctor said tis all fine... not attractive... but fine...hehehe.

Having a really tough day today... probably just tired. It's a long drive to the doctor (1hr 45 min) and then had to go see the dietician... THEN... I had the bright idea of going to the Milwaukee Zoo! I love the zoo and wanted to do something fun with my hubby and daughter. By the time we got home... terrible pain... and soooo tired and just cried and cried while blending my 1/2 of a pear with 3tbs of cottage cheese. It's not that I'm hungry... 4 tiny bites later I was full. Maybe I'm just a like a crabby toddler and need a nap. *sigh*

Thanks again Vera... (((hugs)))
