Is it just this Mom or Does the Port feel like...

Is it just me or does the port feel like it did when you were pregnant and the little foot poked out on your side. Sometimes I feel myself rubbing it like I did their little feet! :thumbup: Forgive me, my last baby leaves for college next month and that empty nest already seems way to empty:wink2:

Anybody else dealing with that on top of everything else?

How funny. I thought I was funny when I rubbed my port. I'm always doing it. I never thought of it as the same as when my babies feet were poking me but now that you say that, that's exactly how it feels. How funny! At least you know your not the only one walking around rubbing your port. I think of it sort of like my lucky rabbits foot. I seem to rub it when I am thinking or when I'm stressed....who knows.

I describe the feeling of my port exactly the same way that it reminds me of when I was pregnant. Sometimes I won't even notice I'm rubbing it until someone asks me if I'm hurting. I'm not going through the empty nest thing yet, though with a 14-year old son I sometimes wish I was. Lol.

I wonder if maybe it depends on how big you are. I don't feel my port or notice it. Sometimes I have to look for it to remind myself it's there! When I went to my doctor's seminar before surgery, he had 5 successful patients there to tell their stories and answer our questions. I asked if I could feel their port site so two of them let us feel and it wasn't hard to find it or feel it at all! Maybe that's what I have to look forward to when my belly gets a little tighter.

I thought my port was down on my left side, but I have been having quite a bit of pain right above my belly-button. The incision there is larger than the others and I can feel something hard under my skin. I assumed that this is where my port is, but has anyone else had pain at the port site? (tight pants, doing sit-ups, etc.)?
