Today was a recap on how to care for my Hickman port. Since we were a little distracted during the first lesson, I thought we should go over it again. Difference this time is that I asked if Marc could change the dressing under the nurses observation. With steady hands, he worked like a pro. If he got a few changes under his belt at home, he would have been great at it. As it turns out, because of it's location, the nurse has recommended that it be changed by the nurses to ensure it is completely sealed. We both agreed (although he did a fine job!). Off tomorrow!!
