My Day has come !

careful with the Vitamin E.....I thought the same thing (not this surgery but a previous one) and found out the hard way that I do not react well to Vitamin E on my skin.....it made it MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH worse!

There are some scar creams out there too. dont know if theyre any good or not tho.

I had a couple of scars from some misadventure and I just used Polysporn for scars and it worked really well. It took a while but you can't even see where the wounds were.

Well last night I had a shower , and boy I nearly had a stroke to see some purple brusing around the port, I don't know why I was so surprised because I saw the pictures on this site. It was not even that bad.

It really surprises me how quicklyI am trying to be so careful so that my healing goes well. It is really weird because a few spoon fulls of Soup and I feel full ! I know you guys said it would be like this , but some how I did not think it would be that easy for me ! It is cool !

I am staying away from family dinner night for the next few weeks.

I think I will have the Flu on going LOL

I am on day 4 post op, Can you drink tea ? I would love a 1/4 cup of tea

Yasmina you sound like you are doing so well.

Man that is so weird I can just imagine how that would feel to be full on a cup of Soup. :biggrin1:

I can't wait. 3 more sleeps.

Yasmina don't worry about being sick for your travels. Mind over matter my friend. Tell yourself that you are fine and you will see.

The Bruises must be shocking. I am a little worried about that. I am fishbelly white and I bruise easily so I can just imagine what I am going to look like. It scares me a bit actually. I know they are just bruises but I just worry a little about the pain to come. I keep telling myself my surgery is going to be just like yours and Tres Chic and I am going to be just fine and walking around like nothing happened in no time. At least I am crossing my fingers for that.

It is weird to not really eat much and feel full. I am trying to listen to my body and feel what hunger feels like. On nighr in Toronto we were watching TV and I said to my friend that I an not hungry but I feel the need for munchies. More times then not we ate something while watching a movie. It is a habit that I will break starting that Saturday.

You will be fine, The first day I went back to the hotel room and slept. The next day I got up ,had a little warm chicken broth and took a taxi to dance class. ( I watched ) We then walked the 6 blocks back to the hotel. I had a lot of gas pain, that was the worst. Tres Chic had no gas pain ! Lucky ! I reasted for two hours and down to the Eaton Center we walked. ( We stayed at the Delta Chelsa ) Sunday Morning back to Thunder bay.( I brought a little neck roll pillow for the plane ride, Taxie ect, great for belly protection on bumpie rides )

Today I have a small bit of gas pain remaining, but other then that I feel fine. Better every day. I am more nervious about the tape coming off the too soon, and of course the healing & scaring. A little sore around the port but that is it.

It is funny because you read what everyonr writes about their experiences, but you think will it be that easy for me ? And you know it was it really was.

Wishing you guys all the best, you guys will do great!

I am happy:) I feel commited to this new life style

Yes, I believe you can drink tea. I had the best Timmy's in the world on the morning of day two. I even put cream in it. But check your doc's notes, I don't want to mislead you. I can't see how it would hurt.

[Yasmina 0]

well tomorrow I am on full liquids, my world has opened up LOL

I still can't believe I did this ?

What meds can you take for colds ? I went to pick up cold fx and they do not have tablets ?

[argon 3]

If you wanted to take cold fx, you could pop them open into some liquid, and drink it as fast as possible! I'm sure any kind of liquid cough medicine (or pills if crushed) would be fine, but of course, call the TLBC and ask.

[Yasmina 0]

Thanks Mandi I will do that

Wow, you guys sound like you're doing great! I hope I will sail through this too.

Yes, I was taking capsules after surgery, and I just opened them up and pour the stuff on the back of my tongue, then swalled with juice or something. Just double check with the pharmicist cause some meds arent suppose to be opened. Most are fine.

Well it is friday, and yeaterday my port site started to become more sore then normal, I started to panic INFECTION oh my god, so off to the emerg dept in -37 degree night. Well as it turned out, I was right an infection is starting so know I am taking 10ml of Novo -lexin X4 a day

He had me take a double amount last night before bed as well as this morning. He then told me to continue with the regular amount for the next ten days. It does feel a little better this morning. Should I call the clinic , or do you think I should see how it goes. I don't want them to think I am crazy !
