Port help!

Everything is finally okay. My wound is clean and closed. It's not a pretty scar, but at least the thing is closed. Dr. Billy said I could have a new port in November, but I won't be able to afford one for another year or so.

Kelly, if your port is really uncomfortable, they can do a fairly simple port revision surgery. I'm starting to hear that they are placing the ports deeper, because the port too close to the surface can cause problems.

Babs, I feel like a walking science project.

Yeah, I would ask the vet about it.

Babs, what are you trying to say? LOL!! :)

Alex, a long time ago it was my VET that diagnosed my problem. Kitty Milo was getting shots, and my vet is really cool so I showed her my port area. She diagnosed me and sent me immediatly to Urgent Care, where they confirmed her dx. I even asked the vet to treat me (considering she knows more than the rest of the docs here) but she said it would be illegal. Who cares!
