The burning where the port was taken out of my arm is better today. I think your instincts were correct, the burning was caused by the cholaprep I rubbed on it on Saturday that was stinging the wound. From the looks of the gauze that’s currently over the wound, perhaps I didn’t let the wound dry completely after I put on the chloraprep, and it probably causes the wound to sting by sitting moist in there all day…

Because it was feeling better, Noah and I didn’t take the dressing off and flush it…now it’s only stinging a tiny bit, but it’s mostly gone, so I’m hoping by tomorrow there’s no stinging at all. ❤️

Thanks again for everything, and I’m sorry for bothering you so late. I was worried that it was getting infected in a different way, I’m relieved it’s looking a wound care issue…

Warmly,
Tara 🙂
