Nightmare First Fill
Not sure why I chose that title because I actually never got the fill! I went to my doctor's office. He started the fill but was having trouble accessing my port. He tried for quite some time and even though he numbed me, it got a little painful! He decided to send me to the hospital so he could do the fill with the assistance of a fluoroscope. Still--- no luck! He then did a series of x-rays to see if the port was flipped. It was not flipped but instead of sitting up, it was angled more to the side. He wasn't sure why because the day of the surgery he mentioned how pleased he was with the way it was sitting after putting it in. So, now I go back to the hospital next Friday so that he can "move" the port! He said it would only take about 30 minutes and is outpatient with no real "down" time. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? My doctor was so sweet-- he was really frustrated that he was "putting me " through this! Please say a pray for me that all goes well next week! He said he would put 1 cc in that day after he moves it so I will get some restriction. Hasn't exactly been the day I was hoping for!
