We discussed it, and he felt around for my port.  He couldn't feel it enough to be able to make an adjustment in the office- so I am waiting for my apt for the fluoroscope fill.  He said at that point we will be able to see if anything is going on.  He did set my mind at ease on a lot of different things (like port flips are a 1%-5% chance of happening- what I may be feeling is scar tissue forming) I was doing what I warn people against- reading all the horror stories and scaring myself into being paranoid. A bit of my discomfort is also  slight skin reaction from the glue/tape stuff that was on top of the stitches.  It finally all fell off, but left the skin irritated.  Having no clue and never having stitches before- I just thought that was what freshly healing skin looked like. I feel much better about things now, and once I get the fill and see nothing is wrong, I can stop being such a worrier

I'm glad you are feeling better and hopefully there is no real issue going on. I'll keep you in my thoughts! I know what you mean about the horror stories. I'm letting them get the best of me. I need to stop!  Good luck with your fill!

I am hoping to also get a date on monday. This will be my first meeting, but i have had the stuff outta the way for a while now. I hope all goes well and that i wont have to wait to long myself to get it done. The sooner the better to me. :)

Even after several years, still taking it a day at a time. No matter what, though, I'm here if you need me!
