I said it before and I'll say it again, Damn Deer!!
I went for my 2nd fill this past thursday and it didn't go so well. My port is deep down but my 1st fill went pretty good considering it was the 1st time, finding it and all.
I did mention the "deer incident" when I got there. Partly because I was worried about it and wanted re-assurance that it didn't bother my band. Even though they assured me in the ER it was fine. Plus since I haven't been as good with the exercise since I sprained my neck. I haven't been able to get comfortable at night, let alone doing that much exercise.
Well after about 15 mins, which felt like forever, he said he wanted to send me for an xray. He (and I ) knew that he was on top of my port with the needle. Where the needle should have been going into the port, it sounded like metal on metal. Then he said it, my port might have flipped.
So I asked how that could have happened, and how to fix it. His answer, when the seatbelt restrained me, it pulled on my sutures holding my port in place and if it was in fact flipped, it would need to be fixed surgically. Outpatient surgery, but surgery.
Tomorrow is the day. I have a 3pm surgery time. I have to be there at 1pm. After 2 more showers with that stupid soap I can't stand. But oh well. I most likely will get my next fill with my repair tomorrow. So I won't be behind that far with my next fill.
Until next time, I will be trying not to go crazy.
