Read more about about my port flip

about my port flip

The doctors arent really clear about why or how it flipped completely over. It can be from lifting to much too fast. I really tried not to but I am a student (heavy books) and a mother of 2 a million pets laundry ect...it can be 1 of many things. I'll find out today when we are having the surgery to put it back in oits right place..hopefully this time it stays put!@!!!!:thumbup::sad:
