Everyone Thank you so much!!!!! I still have sooooooo much work to do, but here we go! Dr. Ortiz, Thank you very much for the gift that God has gven you! Be Blessed! >

Bandsters, If your incisions happen to open: #-o 1. DON'T PANIC 2. PICK UP BUTTERFLY BANDAGES AND NEOPORIN 3. Check for pus, swelling, hardness......Call Dr. Ortiz or Dr. Martinez, get doctors orders! 4. If none of the above....clean site and apply butterfly bandage and then neoporin inbetween bandage...... cover with large bandage, Keep dry! That should do it!. my port wound opened a tad bit and I jumped on it. It has closed and healed up. Praise the Lord! God 4 Us >

Just a word of caution...... At the hotel , they offer you jello when you return back to your hotel. I ate the stuff without thinking, and later became sick! So, the hotel may offer that.....don't eat it! :-? Grace

Mona-Camile, Good for you! I'm sure you will follow the rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can not answer your first question, however with the instructions that Dr. Miranda gave for us to eat.....I never expected a basket, neither did they promise one. Once I got to the hotel, I just paid for what I wanted .....the way we were told to eat. Never had a hunger issue so can't help you there.......Sorry Best Wishes! God is Good >

Thank you banders for your post.....I got it now!!!! =D> God loves you >
