Re: Port Infection

[Guest guest]

Hi Jade,

I am sorry this has come up for you. I just wanted to say, if you

can, keep the cut as clean as you can and covered till you can chat

to your doctor. I am prone to infection and I just donj't want that

to happen to you at all.

I hope you get it sorted out and this is the only hassle you have.

Keep up the good work

Hi Jade,

Don't stress. It's ok. I also had a small infection at port site following surgery. I just went on a course of anti biotics and it cleared up no probs.

I have an appointment with him this morning, and he is just back from holidays, and can be busy catching up, so just let Penny know you have a port issue and she will fit you in more quickly than normal patients.

Hope everything else going well for you.

I was 3 weeks banded yesterday and all looked like it was going well, the left of my port cut has a small scab less than 1cm long and last night it fell off leaving puss underneath and a little open hole.

Just a bit disapointed, but it doesnt look like a big infection, will call Dr as soon as his rooms open and see what to do.
