Day 71 - Dressing over Trifusion Hickman Catheter Site - November 23 2011

I slept much of the evening last night which was nice. My left chest is sore and I took 1/2 pain pill twice in the night. I haven't had any shortness of breath. Today, the dressing over the site of my former Trifusion Hickman Catheter has a little more serous drainage. I've been instructed to keep the Tegaderm dressing on for 48 hours and not to get it wet (no shower). I supposed to take the dressing off tomorrow and put a new one on with just a gauze and tape - no tegaderm.
