just got my power port yesterday which was put in place to replace the picline i have had for about a month. its suppose to be safer for me and longterm. i have not even taken off the bandage yet(tomorrow according to nurse) and i am already nervous. i hook up to TPN every night for 12 hours and i have to do it myself. with the picline i do nothing but hook it up and set the machine pump. but with this port i will be puncturing the skin every day and i am very scared about doing that to myself. i know my daughters will not do that for me. they have been helping me hook up so far because i need help because picline is in my arm and i can't use two hands. so i thought with the new port i would be more independant. but now i just don't know if i can do this. also i didn't really expect any pain but today it is hurting some. almost feels like infection kind of pain. just didn't know what to expect because noone told me. the docs office just set it up and i showed up at hospital. i called them today and said i felt like i was left out here on my own to figure this out. of course she started talking then to fill me in. anyone else out there that hooks there own up everyday? i have a visiting nurse that has been coming only on monday to redress the picline and check progress of my health. she is suppose to be coming to show me how to use this . hope it all goes well.
