Bleeding from my port site

[ladytuscanny 0]

I had my third fill today. One of the associates of the surgeon was doing the fill today. He couldn't find the port and kept poking me with the needle. He must have tried at least five times and slipped off the edge twice and that hurt! The second time he did that I told him if he did it again, I was going to knock him out! Finally, he went to get the surgeon and he had to change the needle twice, but found it eventually. He told me that it would be black and blue. What he didn't tell me was that I would bleed all over my shirt and that it would hurt all the way up to my chest and in my abdomen! OUCH!!!!!!

That sounds so traumatic. Has the bleeding stopped? Do you need to get checked out again? Mel

I just checked and there is some bleeding, but it has slowed down. I took a 500mg Tylenol and feel better. It was tramatic, I was shaking when I left the dr's office. I'm glad that my hubby was with me today. :tt2:
