    Glad it's out. Mine took longer to heal coming out then going in, but it was sure nice getting it out.

    Deported .. ! Yahooo
    What helped me is placing an ice pack, wrapped in a kitchen towel on my deportation site for 15 minutes .. 1 times every hour. This helped with the throbbing, pain and clot.

    Best of luck, also take advil to help with the inflammation due to all the digging, poking of port site.

    Strength and Courage,
