9/27/19: The Port Nurse Called Me

The port nurse who saw me yesterday called to follow up! I feel so comforted by her thoughtfulness. 

I told her the redness has not spread, and she was even more confident that it's just a bruise. She reminded me that I could take the dressing off today and shower, and in fact it's recommended because washing the area will help to keep it clean. 

I mentioned that the area still hurts, and she wasn't surprised, which is reassuring to know it's normal. She said I could ice it for 5-10 minutes, sometimes that will help.
