CAN'T work out!

[DonnaB]

Hi everyone. I'm having a hard time doing anything other than walking on my treadmill. Everytime I do ANYTHING the least bit strenuous, I pull my port and it hurts for a week. I can't even hoist my book bag at school without it causing pain. What's up with that?

I'd like to swim, but until this hair loss thing slows down I'm not doing anything that may cause more damage and will force me to wash my hair more frequently. Besides, I worry that the motion of swimming will pull my stupid port!!!!!

This is getting old.

I don't really expect you guys to be able to solve my problem, I just wanted to whine about it.

P.S. yes, I've spoken to my doctor about it, they just say take tylenol for the pain, and don't do anything to strain it, give it time to heal. I'm six months out from surgery today - how much freaking time does it need?

Dang! I don't know what to say other than I'm sorry you are feeling pain. That just sucks.

Maybe pressure on it will make it feel better. Walmart has those waist huggers, like a support/waist shrinker thing. It may help. I am just guessing.
