That's such a pain in the port!

Yesterday I had some pain in my port area. The feeling was similar to when I first had surgery. The only thing I can think of that could've caused the pain is that for 1/2 the day yesterday, I was sitting down at a desk .. the top of my trousers were pressing (digging into!) on my port incision. At the time I didn't think anything of it but it could've very well aggrevated it. I didn't eat or drink much either (I know ... tut tut!) but I can't see how that would affect my port. It's rather odd. I mean, I do 4 1/2 days of physical work with absolutely no problems. I then sit at a desk for 4 hours and feel impossibly uncomfortable later in the evening. After a good night's sleep, the pain has largely subsided. Still a little niggly today but not horrific (I think a couple of my stitches are also trying to make their way to the skin surface).

After working 7 days out of 8, my body is soooo ready for a rest tomorrow! I'm predicting a ridiculously looong sleep in tomorrow .. I think I'll be lucky to even get out of my pj's to be honest! LOL!
