Port Surgery Follow-Up

I had a follow-up video call with the radiologist's PA about my port. It's healing but the glue is still there, and I was concerned about whether I could use the numbing cream on it when I go for my infusion. No problem, I was told. The cream can be applied over the glued area.

I also asked what drugs I was given during my procedure. It was 1 mg Versed and 50 mcg Fentanyl. I don't remember speaking during surgery and don't recall hearing any voices, but apparently I said ouch at one point, and they gave me another 1 mg Versed and 50 mcg Fentanyl.

Versed can cause nausea, and that's why I requested anti-nausea medication beforehand. I wasn't nauseated when I woke up, but as I said earlier, I got motion sickness from being transported from the OR to the recovery room and had to be given more Zofran.

I really hope I don't get nausea from the chemo. I read that people who are prone to motion sickness are more likely to experience nausea. I get airsick, seasick, and carsick. Ugh.
