    Antibiotic Resistance

    Covering your accessed port in the shower.

    Hi all, I got my port in July, and this is my first round of antibiotics with the port. Right now, when I shower, I cover up the area w/a ziploc bag or some other plastic taped to my skin. I was wondering if anyone had any other creative ideas. Thanks!
